Allerton Bywater School of Motoring, Castleford

Advantages: Good driving instructors
Disadvantages: None that i can think of

...Locke school of motoring is a good school of motoring i paid for 12 hours of driving lessons that cost me around £100-£150 it took me a while to take these lessons because i let my 1st theory test run over the 2 years and i had to take another 1 and i passed it after the 4th time. The driving instructor i had he was great because im short he made me sit on a cushion so i was higher up and i could see a bit better and i told him what i was failing on in my other tests and with his help i got through. The prices at the time last year were about £16 for an hour and about £32 for 2 hours. With Locke i found that the prices were reasonable but are expensive because you could probably get them for cheaper. You can either have a woman instructor or a male instructor it depends on who you feel more comfortable with to help you through your test... Read review

...My wife and I bought this car at the beginning of April 2004. We were very impressed with the level of service given to us by the dealer (Peter Ambrose of Castleford). The car comes with a CD player, sports seats and front fog lights. I normally drive a Citreon Xantia so am used to large cars. I found that the drivers area was spacious and the seats supported me very well. The car is very easy to drive with the pedals offering up just enough resistance not to feel soft. The steering is pretty good as is the road handling. The engine is responsive though I have noticed a tendancy to need to change gear frequently when driving on steep slopes (namely in the Peak District). All in all I would recommend this for someone looking to purchase a small car.... Read review

Disadvantages: Dundee and surrounding area only.

...Cool, my suggestion was added. :) S'pose I should write something about EESOM then. East End School of Motoring is a driving school based in Dundee ran by Alan Lockhart. I have not received any lessons from Alan personally, I met him through helping him set up his web site. A couple of people I know who were instructed by him were very happy with his lessons - and they both passed first time! There are no prices on Alans site, nor did he disclose the prices to me. I believe his rates are reasonable though and he offers discounts to students, unemployed and for booking lessons in blocks. Alan has been driving and teaching other to drive for many years. He is a founder member and past chairman of the Dundee & Dirtrict Driving Schools Association. He is also a past chairman of the Driving Instructors Scottish Council. The car Alan... Read review
