How iDrive Began
In 2019, when co-owner Mike was thinking about how Formula One drivers use simulators to improve their driving. He thought, if it’s good enough for them, then learner drivers must be able to do the same. So, he started researching the idea.

The French Connection
Mike soon discovered that in France, it is mandatory to start learning to drive on a simulator. You actually need to complete 10 hours of simulator training before getting behind the wheel of a car! There are similar laws in the UAE, Europe and certain states of America. Mike then came across ECA Group who designed and manufactured state of the art driving simulators that have been developed alongside the aerospace industry. The software used on the simulators was developed in partnership with Nottingham University, and to Mike and Lynn’s surprise, the program was already built for use on UK roads!

Safer Roads
After 2 years of covid-19 restrictions Mike and Lynn made the trip to France to visit the factory. This was the first time they experienced the simulator themselves! From there, they decided that learner drivers young and old in the United Kingdom would benefit from learning to drive simulator training.

First of it's kind
Mike and Lynn ordered three simulators and prepared to set up the first of its kind driving school in the UK. With an ethos that driving instructors will never be replaced, but simulator training is a great foundation for beginners learning to drive. Budding learner drivers who want to get ahead before they are 17, those who don’t have access to a car between lessons, or for nervous drivers who are too scared to get straight on the busy roads of today. Our learn to drive simulator is great supplementary training, we aim to work with driving instructors to create safer drivers and roads!
