So You Wish To Commence Driving Lessons

You have reached the age of 17 and want to learn to drive (UK). It is not a cheap affair and you need to be as certain as you can that the money you spend on your driving lessons is not wasted. You first need to locate a driving school and then ask suitable questions of him/her.

There are lots of directories on the internet that have listings of driving instructors and schools. The biggest I have found is the Driving Schools Directory who cover so many towns in the UK, it’s hard to believe. Insert your home town in the ‘search box’ and you will be presented with a list of instructors that cover your area. Take notes of those that sound interesting to you.

When you make contact, you will want to be sure that they are fully qualified and not ‘trainee’ instructors. You can tell this by the type of badge (licence) they hold. A fully qualified instructor will have a green octagonal licence showing in heir car whereas a trainee will have a pink triangular licence.

Most instructors will offer a discount for booking a number of lessons or if you are a student. Some will also offer money off of lessons based on your profession e.g. students. Be sure to ask about these deals.

Don’t forget though that cheap isn’t always the best and you could end up taking more driving lessons than needed, thereby costing you more money in the long run. So, once you start your lessons, do not be shy to change or try out another school if you are not happy for whatever reason.

Some of these reasons could be a personality clash, shouting, turning up late, using the lesson time to stop off at shops/do errands, stopping to use their mobile (illegal whilst driving), a dirty (smelly!) car etc.

Remember, you are spending a lot of money and should therefore receive a high level of service.
