Newest Review: ... When I first started my lessons I was shocked at how my instructor just told me to take to the road I had never driven on a road before and this is really scary to just 'do it' so my advice if you can get some one in your family or a friend to take you out before your lessons start do it ( I believe you must be fully insured to drive on a public road/area and the other person in the car must ... more

Learning to drive. Learning to drive was one of the most expensive and tedious thing I have ever done (and I failed twice) but rewarding and builds your confidence. I think the easiest way to describe it would be in bullet points..... 1. Because I have particular bad hand eye feet coordination I decided to learn automatic, I say to anyone thinking along the same line just bite the bullet and learn Manuel. At the time I was living near Aldershot and the only automatic instructor lived miles away so I paid the grand sum of £30 per hour lesson. 2. When I first started my lessons I was shocked at how my instructor just told me to ...  Read the complete review

I am a learner driver. There I've said it, I feel much better now. Some lessons I enjoy driving, other's I truely hate it. I never really wanted to learn to drive, when I turned 17 I did a few lessons because I thought it would be "cool" to be able to go cruising etc with my friends. I didn't do very well due to this attitude and the fact I realised, due to a friends car accident just how dangerous driving can be. Mostly because of the other drivers on the road, more on that later. I am now 22 and learning again. This time I have a fantastic instructor who never pushes me too far, whom I trust to keep me out of trouble and who ...  Read the complete review

As big a fan as I am of our environment and looking after our planet, I really do think that driving is essential these days. I mean I remember when I was bit younger having to rely on lifts from others, and on public transport - and it really is a complete pain, often totally unreliable (Unless you want to live your life in Central London where public transport seems to be rather good). Learning to drive these days is hard, with lessons and tests proving to be very expensive (potentially thousands) and with Insurance for younger drivers costing around the same amount, you really have to be dedicated, otherwise you will end up wasting money on a few lessons ...  Read the complete review

Learning to drive can be an expensive hobby.. I started taking my driving lessons when I was 18, I took them with an instructor which cost me £20 at the time, I felt after 8 lessons I was ready to do with theory test. I had revised a lot and thought why not go for it, you get two years to pass your test after that. I failed my first test by one point. So resat it two weeks later and passed it. After 12lessons I felt I was getting no where with my driving instructor and he was not helping me make changes or improve my driving, so I changed driving instructors. My new driving instructor was so much better and by my 12th lesson with him he had me in for my test, ...  Read the complete review

Small message to all those miserable gits who like to tail up to my ass whilst i'm learning to drive and give me abuse.One day I will pass my test so does that mean I immediately earn the right to act like a knob,beep my horn,drive erratically,etc etc.May your back wheels turn into bicycle pedals and free wheel up your arses to anyone who behaves like a twat on the roads.Im proud to want to further my driving to the safest standard.Cockiness leads to them decapitated people on the car crash websites.My partner picks them up and recovers their vehicles.
