Driving Courses in generalNewest Review: ... I feel he held me back, after 30 lessons I still wasn't ready for the test and was rapidly running out of money. Sadly I had to stop as I could no longer afford it. Fast forward 2 years and I was now living in Dorset with my partner. Of course living I definitely needed a car and after becoming quite upset one day at my frustration at not being able to get about by myself I once again searched around for an instructor. Being desperate to get my license I rather stupidly signed up for an intensive course thinking it would be easy, it wasn't. My teacher was a bully and shouted at me several times for the most stupid little things. After 3... more |

Learning to drive is on those rites of passage that the majority of young people aspire to get through at some point in their lives. It passed me however until my mid 20's as I simply wasn't interested. I lived in a large town with excellent transport links and didn't have the need for a car at any point. No-one in my immediate family had a car either so I had no encouragement to learn. I moved out of my parents place when I was 23 and shortly afterwards started to realise that actually being mobile and having my own means of getting around as and when I wanted would be a huge benefit, which driving instructor or school should I choose though? I made the ... Read the complete review

I think driving school are different depending on who you get. Stereotypically I would say that: Middle aged male drivers would be more, just go for it, where as a female, would sit and be patient. So it's not just the school also the tutor. I do believe some will put you for your exam as soon as they think your ready and others will make sure your more than ready, which means more money for them. My tutor says that he always sits in the back with exams, which I think is great as then he can tell students what people fail on and what not to do. There are also many rumors about examiners, like if he/she is in a bad mood they are less likely to pass ... Read the complete review

Cars. Though they provide a level of drama and intrigue that’s perhaps a touch lower than I’d like for an opening sentence, they are the great love of my short life. As a petrolhead from the age of 5, I was naturally keen to take driving lessons upon turning 17 last July (in reality, it took me until February to find the money for it) so I could benefit from the freedom and mobility only a car can provide, and have a whale of a time while I was at it. Hopefully, this op can point out a few things that prospective learners should be aware of before they take the plunge, and show just how many times I’ve nearly killed myself in the name of ...

If its coming around to that age when you will want to start driving or maybe it?s the kids and you?re the confused parent; Well this should help those that are interested out; ***WHICH DRIVING SCHOOL TO CHOSE?*** There are generally two ways of thinking when it comes to which driving school to chose and how much to pay; JONS CARS, RED-DRAGON etc. These are companies that offer driving lessons at a cheaper rate, but may not be quite up to the standard of BSM. They may also not be able to provide helpful documentation about the car which I found helped my diving. E.g. I was shown a diagram to show simply how the gears of the car worked. ...
