Less that one year on, the costs have doubled!
The practical driving test now costs £56.50 on a weekday.
This is a worrying trend – for some (myself included) I actually couldn’t get to my workplace without a car.
Thanks for your comments.
It would be interesting to get an up to date price on lessons from you?
Is there a lot of competition between instructors on the issue of price?
The first time I went for driving lessons, I went through an independent. The experience wasn’t very good and due to a family tragedy I had to give them up.
When I was ready to return, I went through BSM as it seemed to have a good reputation. I’m quite glad I did as I got the most barmy, funny and impressive instructor I’ve had. Well, after the first one had a breakdown that is (not due to my driving I hasten to add!).
All instructors are individuals, whether BSM, AA, or an independant.
Best to go on recommendations if you are looking for a Instructor, that way you know what to expect.
As an instructor myself lesson prices are getting very competitive, Driving Tests (price) on the other hand are increasing immensely, only wish we could raise our lesson price at the same rate without losing customers.
But living in the real World, peoples salaries are not increasing in fact at the moment the economy is struggling and Driving Lessons are the first cut back.
