Mark

i found when i did one it was a waste of £500 i went to blackpool had 1 week there had lessons for 8 hours each day with 2 other students in the car anyway i failed the test!

i threatend to sue the company and got a full refund minus test fees!

I passed after 2 weeks with a local good driving instructor i had 2 hour lessons everyday of the week for 2 weeks

the price some of the intensive courses charge is scandolous its cheaper to goto poland and do a polski test and then come back over here ;)

The individual who has spent 3 months learning (without passing) will be a better driver than the individual who has done it for a week and passed!

My husband reckoned that the examiner didn't want to risk having to get back into a car with me, so, passed me first time! ;D ;D ;D

Had my full bike license 2 weeks after turning 17, and my full car license 3 weeks after that.

No bike lessons whatsoever (they didn't really exist then anyway), just straight in and job done.
I took 2 lessons before the car test, but that was only to make sure I knew the car before I put myself up for the actual test.

The only reason for booking the driving lessons was quite simple - it would lead the examiner to believe I was making the effort if I was in a school car rather than my own.

Do I think that the tests of today make for a better driver?

Do I f**k!!!
