A POPULAR fast-food chain is giving away free burgers in celebration of National Drive-Thru Day.

Burger King will give newly qualified drivers one free Whopper or Chicken Royale on Wednesday, July 24.

Newly qualified drivers can redeem their flame-grilled Whopper or Chicken Royale at BK drive-thru restaurants nationwide if they mention “BK Plates” at the order window and show their ‘L’ Plate to drive-thru staff.

A spokesperson for Burger King UK said: “One of the first activities newly qualified drivers do once they’ve been given the green light is make a pit stop at a drive-thru with friends to show off their new skills, but sometimes navigating a drive-thru for the first time can be tricky and leave them feeling like a rabbit in the headlights.”

The offer is available nationwide at Burger King drive-thru lanes only while stock lasts.

Newly qualified drivers must verbally mention “BK Plates” at any Burger King UK drive-thru lane to unlock their free burger and show drive-thru staff their L Plate to redeem their free Whopper.
