You have reached the age of 17 and want to start to drive (United Kingdom). It is costly and you want to be as certain as you can that the the cost of your driving lessons is not wasted. You first need to find a driving school and then ask suitable questions of him/her.

There are many directories on the web that have listings of driving schools and driving instructors. The biggest I have found is the Driving Schools Directory who cover so many towns in the UK, it’s hard to believe. Insert your home town in the ‘search box’ and you will be presented with a listing instructors that cover your area. Take notes of those that may be of interest to you.

When you make contact, you will want to be certain that they are fully qualified and not ‘trainee’ instructors. You can tell this by the type of badge (licence) they hold. A fully qualified instructor will have a green octagonal badge showing in heir car whereas a trainee will have a pink triangular licence.

Most driving schools will offer a discount for booking multiple lessons or if you are a student. Some will also offer discounts based on your profession e.g. nurses. Be sure to ask about these deals.

Realise though that cheap isn’t always the best and you could end up taking more driving lessons than required, thereby costing you more cash in the long run. So, once you start your lessons, do not be shy to change or try out another driving school if you are not delighted for whatever reason.

Some of these reasons could be a personality clash, shouting, turning up late, using the lesson time to stop off at shops/do errands, stopping to use their mobile (illegal whilst driving), a dirty (smelly!) car etc.

Remember, you are spending good money and should therefore expect a top service.
