Driving Lessons

[Peggotty 10]

Has anyone on the Forum passed their driving test by going on an intensive driving course at Blackpool which includes accommodation. My nephew is thinking about doing this but they do sound very expensive. Thanks in advance.

Wighams intensive 2009 do intensive courses in Sheffield.

Would it not be cheaper for him to do an intensive course here. I know people that have done them in Sheffield, but never heard of the blackpool one.

I wouldn't advise anyone to do one.

 

For a start, the majority of what you will learn will be 'how to pass the test' not how to drive.

 

Secondly, your brain can't take in all that information in such a short period of time.

 

Finally, you won't experience the same amount of different situations etc in a short period of time than you would if you had one or two lessons a week.

 

I understand it sounds like a good idea,but I looked into it when I was about to start lessons but was put off by the above and read pots on here (including posts from driving instructors) who advise against them.
