Only those people who hold a current Millbrook Proving Ground Driving Permit are permitted to use the test track facilities unaccompanied. Permits are only issued to those with a current valid driving licence for the category of vehicle they wish to drive. Driving Permits are valid for 3 (three) years from the date of issue.

The permit procedure consists of a comprehensive orientation tour of the track facilities detailing the relevant rules and regulations, followed by a written multi-choice examination, confirming a basic understanding of Millbrook’s track use procedures, as well as certain facility specific questions.

Once the tour and test have been successfully completed, and the individuals driving license has been verified as valid, a driving permit will be issued to that individual, and shall only relate to the company for whom they work. If any driving permit holder changes companies, the driving permit becomes invalid unless Millbrook receives a letter from an official of the new employer confirming employment and compliance with insurance requirements.

All Proving Ground driving privileges are automatically withdrawn upon the suspension or loss of permission to drive on UK public roads.

Non-permit holders may drive ONLY if express authorisation is given by Track Control. The non-permit holder must be accompanied at all times by a full permit holder, and must show their driving licence, for the category of vehicle they wish to drive, to Track Control before being allowed access to the facilities.
