Learning to Drive
As a provisional licence holder you obviously need someone to teach you how to drive a car and prepare you for the driving test, the two main avenues that learner drivers use is either by using an approved driving instructor (ADI) or by learning with friends and family.
In these days of a slumping economy and the credit crunch biting very hard, it is not surprising that a lot of people will try and use the least costly route, which will usually be family or friends and some will choose cheap driving lessons.
Cheapest driving lessons
There is nothing wrong with trying to find the driving school that offers the best value for your money when learnong to drive, but you should not go for an instructors tuition just because they offer the cheapest driving lessons in your area. You must make sure that whoever you are learning to drive with and paying money to is a current qualified DSA approved instructor still authorised to give driving lessons in exchange for money, that the car is fully insured and roadworthy for the purpose that you intend.
Due to the ecomonic downturn, there are a lot of illegal driving instructors operation in the UK who are charging money for driving lessons, are not qualified or don't have insurance.
As a provisional licence holder learning to drive, you want to make sure that your money is being spent on the best tuition you can afford, and not lining the pockets of someone who might disappear before your DSA test or keep strectching your driving lessons just to get money off you.
Don't just go for cheap driving lessons, look for quaility as well.
