THE hunt is on to find Barnsley’s best young driver.

The Young Driver Challenge 2017 is a quest to find the town’s top pre-17 driving talent and entrants can be as young as ten - up to seven years before they can take their test or even drive a car on public roads.

Instructors are at Penistone Grammar School until the end of July to search for the best young drivers in the area to put forward to a national final which will take place at the NEC in Birmingham on September 30.

Entrants drive a dual-control car, with a fully qualified driving instructor, and are marked on driving skills and manoeuvres, including parallel parking, independent driving, emergency stops, steering, judgement and positioning.
