Driving Experience Days: Get behind the wheel of a 60-foot car transporter during this awesome truck driving experience, available in various locations across the UK. With 15-20 minutes’ drive time and professional one-to-one tuition, it’s a day out you’ll never forget!
On arrival at your chosen venue, you’ll be greeted by a fully qualified HGV driving instructor and briefed inside the truck’s cab. They’ll talk you through the Scania P420’s oversized steering wheel and 12-speed gearbox before directing you around a specialist course. This takes 15-20 minutes to complete and comprises various slaloms and technical sections, plus a couple of reverse parking manoeuvres. You’ll receive expert tuition throughout, as you get to grips with the Scania’s 13-litre, 420bhp engine—not to mention the sheer size of the thing! Finally, once you’ve completed the course, you’ll receive a certificate commemorating the day’s fun. What’s not to love, eh?
A 60-foot truck driving experience will bring out the big kid in anyone, and it makes a unique experience gift for car-mad mums and dads. Put a smile on their face with an Experience Days voucher today!
