I learned to drive almost three years ago now, and I definitely don't regret it. Here are my top tips for learning to drive, and how to survive driving lessons! So you've got your provisional license sorted, lets go for the rest! 1. Save up first. I'd suggest saving up for your first 10 driving lessons in advance. Driving lessons vary in price hugely from £18-£25 per hour, it's worth doing some comparisons of prices before you start. It's a costly venture so it's handy to have some money put by specifically before you even begin. 2. Find an instructor.

The advice I should have taken is to find a recommended instructor, the ...  Read the complete review

These reviews are always written in the possative, by people who have passed, well this one isn't. I cant believe im about to admit this, in a few minuets, when you have finished reading this you will all think im an idiot, and you might be right.

I rang her up and we spoke ...  Read the complete review

Passing your driving test gives you imense freedom especially if your 17 and live in the middle of nowhere! even if that is not the case it will still bring you so much freedom. to be able go places by yourself, and not have to rely on others or public transport as which we know is not always as reliable as it should be! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* MY STORY: I started of my driving lessons at the beginning of June after my 17th birthday.
