I was wondering if there was any places where I could take my daughter to drive. She doesn't have a license.

If she's 17 and not been behind the wheel before, i'd recommend a large Industrial Estate on a Sunday Afternoon/Evening.

You have to be over 14 at Tockwith and take proof
Then you can take her in your own car for £10 for about 1 1/2 hours

Alternatively they have a dual control car you can hire with and without instructor
which is a good way to start them off

It is pretty well set up for this learning, but is a bit rough in places
ie Don't take your P&J

There is also a skid pan and karting if you get bored

Cheers Richard

Seacroft seems to be quite popular for unlicensed drivers hehe

I suggest you get in touch with your local branch of the under 17 car club. They take youngsters at 14 and teach them to drive in controlled conditions, finishing at 17.

Just be aware that parts of some of these are classed as public roads, therefore lots of nice insurance/licence implications.

Another vote for Tockwith - it was £6/hr when I learned at 16 in 1993.

Lack of a license doesn't seem to be an issue around the centre of Bradford rolleyes
