The driving school, which has in excess of 1200 instructors throughout the nation and a significant number of pupils learning with them each year, will be adding around 350 brand new MINIs on to its fleet before Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RED Driving School students will now be learning and passing their tests in the MINI Cooper D 5-door Hatch which has C02 emissions of just 95 g\/km and very low fuel consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RED Driving School MINI Coopers will initially come in the two striking colours of Midnight Black and White Silver with cars in Blazing Red to be introduced later. All the cars will have RED\u2019s newly designed branded livery covering the cars\u2019 exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school\u2019s new MINI fleet will all come with the comprehensive Chili Pack which includes LED headlights and fog lights, rain sensor and automatic headlight activation and sports seats for the driver and front passenger. Crucially for driving instructors, the Chili pack includes dual-zone air conditioning and three different driving modes including the fuel efficient Green mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes as RED looks to cement its position as the UK\u2019s premium driving school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
