Learners who prepare this way, with a combination of plenty of professional training and plenty of practice, do better in the test.There is no short cut to passing.
Cheap Lessons
Basing your choice of Driving instructor purely on which one is cheapest can lead to BIG problems.
People want a driving instructor who is "good and cheap"...unfortunately for them, those two adjectives rarely go hand in hand when it comes to finding a driving instructor as many people find out to their cost.
Prices for driving lessons vary throughout the country but most areas have an average price, which you will soon become aware of if you make some inquiries.
If you find an instructor or school offering lessons for a price significantly lower than the area average, be wary...cheap prices are a sales gimmick to attract customers...ask yourself why they are so desperate to attract customers - it could be that the instructor is newly qualified, gone solo and is trying to build up a pupil base from scratch (everyone has to start somewhere after all!)...Or on the other hand it could be that the instructor is unpopular and has problems keeping enough pupils to charge the market rate (and you probably don't want to find out why they're unpopular...) - or even worse, lessons are cheap because the "instructor" is not qualified and therefore illegal.
There have been stories from people who have had so called "bargain" cut-price driving lessons, who hadn't driven the car at all after 4 lessons. All 4 lessons had been spent sitting in the car with the instructor; engine turned off and parked in a car park with the instructor TALKING about how to drive and nothing else.
There's a BIG difference between learning how to make a car move and how to stop it ,and learning how to actually DRIVE...driving means getting out onto different sorts of roads, different traffic conditions, all kinds of weather and as many unique situations as possible to prepare you for what driving independently is really like, not sitting outside your house or in car park to save the instructor's overheads on a cheap driving lesson.
