WELCOME TO THE WESTPOINT EXPERIENCE

DUE TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS COURSE I AM OFFERING 1/2 DAYS FOR JUST £95. THIS INCLUDES PICK-UP FROM THE LOCAL AREA AROUND 9AM AND RETURN BY 3PM. GIVING A MINIMUM OF 4 HOURS OFF ROAD TUITION. HOWEVER BECAUSE THIS IS A SHORT DAY THE NORMAL PROCEEDURE OF PEGASUS PAYING FOR BREAKFAST IS NOT INCLUDED. (BRING BUTTIES)

The Westpoint Experience is a unique opportunity for 16 year olds to get behind the wheel for the first time and to drive in a controlled, safe and fun area designed and operated by Devon Drivers Centre in Exeter.

Based at the famous Westpoint Arena, it is a purpose built practice road network intending to reduce the initial stress of learning to drive.  As it is off-road no licence is required and of course the pupil will be under the instructors control at all times in his normal tuition vehicle.  Because the day is more relaxed we have found that the day counts for around 10 hours on-road and upon starting their normal lessons at 17 they advance far more quickly.

The circuit consists of;

Full 7.3 metre roads

Reversing bays

Gradients for hill starts and clutch control

Traffic light controlled junctions

Pelican and Zebra crossings

Mini roundabout

Stop and give way lines

No kerbs

Use of the Centre for breaks and refreshments

The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and we will pick up at 8am and stop at Tesco's for breakfast on the way and arrive at Westpoint before 9.30am and start the day.  At lunchtime we have lunch locally and return for the second session.  We normally leave around 4.30pm and arrive back in Plymouth around 5.30pm.  We pay for the breakfast.

If you need to book for more than one pupil then other instructors are used, so that each pupil has their own vehicle for the day.  And of course if you want all this to be a surprise for a birthday etc, then that’s okay (we are used to it)

All instructors are fully qualified and approved  by the

DRIVING STANDARDS AGENCY.
