CAN CHEAPER LESSONS BE MORE EXPENSIVE ?
Once upon a time there was a driving school advertising fantastically cheap driving lessons.
Was that for a 1-hour, 50 minute, or a 40 minute lesson? Is my lesson with a trainee driving instructor or a fully qualified driving instructor? Will I speak to my instructor or a call centre? Will I have the same instructor and the same type of car on each of my driving lessons?
What were the results?
Did the pupil learn happily ever after? How many hours of tuition did they require? Did they have the same instructor and the same car for the duration of their lessons? Did they eventually pass their driving test? What was the full financial cost to achieve a test pass?
How many lessons will you need if you do not have one hour lessons to reach the practical driving test standard? If you opt for a 40 minute lesson, by the time you finish your third lesson you will be one hour behind regarding your subject knowledge, driving ability and experience.
If you go for your DSA practical driving test before you are ready and the outcome resulted in a fail, it will affect your confidence for future lessons and can potentially have a negative impact for the next test. A driving test currently costs £62.00 (Weekdays) and £75.00 (Weekends) so what originally seemed like a good cheap fast track approach to learning how to drive becomes extremely costly and time consuming in the long term.
Calculate the extra cost and drive time required for additional lessons to reach the test standard and then subsequently pass!
