Bentley Driving Program

Bentley Driving Program
We already know that Ferrari, Land Rover, and Lamborghini have driving school programs and Maserati recently opened a North American driving school but do we really need a school to drive a Bentley? Automobile Magazine covers the Bentley Driving Program which recently came to Las Vegas. The program is for Bentley owners and those who are sales prospects. For $1500 you get to spend a day playing around with a Bentley learning not only some driving skills but also a bit of Bentley history and lore. Reading this article it seems that where the exotic car driving schools often focus on the vroom-vroom race car approach, Bentley teaches capability and grace. Of course some of the exercises do take place at 100 mph so there is still the adrenaline factor. Many of the Bentley drivers i have encountered in the Los Angeles area could definitely benefit from a little schooling.
