About

Ever dreamed of being king of the road? Well here's your chance to prove you can handle more than just a people carrier. Choose from one of three colossal vehicles: a juggernaut, a double decker bus or a fire engine. Pick the juggernaut for a 430HP articulated lorry, complete with 40ft box trailer. Or a fire engine which will be either a 13 tonne Dennis or a Scania 82 Fire Appliance. Or try the 10-tonne Leyland Atlantean or Volvo D10M double decker bus - both models stand at a huge 14ft and don't forget you'll have over 31ft of vehicle behind you! Courses begin with a familiarisation briefing of your vehicle of choice. Then move onto some of the challenges that you could expect when driving these workhorses - slaloms, roundabouts and reversing your vehicle into coned areas are just some of the options to test you. Taking control of any of these monsters requires skill and concentration, but with an experienced instructor by your side you can expect the drive of a lifetime!
