When I started thinking about learning to drive the sheer though of driving sent the fear of god into but I knew that I had to get through it somehow. Anyway I decided that after being recommended by a friend to try the AA driving school so I picked up the phone and nervously rang the number and booked a day for the following week.

That night I received a phone call from the driving instructor to whom I had been assigned, he could tell that I was really nervous about learning to drive but he calmed me down and arranged a different appointment as the AA had double booked him. The instructor had a really calming and although I was nervous at the beginning he pointed out that he wouldn't let me have an accident as he had control of the car as well.

It took a few weeks to start enjoying it but as I got better I felt more and more confident about my driving and I ended up really enjoying driving.

My instructor was really good, he managed to make me feel at ease and he was supportive he became more of a friend than a driving instructor.

The car was nice to drive. It was a Ford Focus 1.6litre engine and they are replaced every 6 months.

When you ring up and pay for a block booking then you receive a years free AA membership a discount and a £100 holiday voucher (which I didnt receive). The instructors will even take you through the pass plus course once you pass your test if you want.

I even took double lessons each time as I found that you get more done in 1 double lesson than you do in 2 single lessons. This can be expensive as it costs £19 an hour in my area.

I would recommend anybody to use the AA driving school if they are serious about learning to drive because the instructor that I had was really supportive and if they are all the same then you should enjoy it.

£19 doesn't sound too bad - BSM quoted my missus-to-be £24 per hour!! Nice op. Marc
