Alpha school of motoring, Thurrock

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

Advantages: Patient, reliable driving instructor.
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

Advantages: Encouraging instructors, Lovely cars
Disadvantages: none!

...I wanted driving lessons for my 17th birthday so i could gain more independance however i did NOT want to drive in a mini, any other car was fine, just not a mini. So what does my mum do? Books my lessons with Bramhall school of motoring - purely minis. At first i was sceptical, i thought of the old style minis and thought they would be cramped and just not very nice to drive. I was hugely mistaken. The mini's are lovely, really comfortable and plenty of space. My instuctor is really patient with me and very encouraging. I was allowed to drive on my first lesson after being taught the basics so was impressed with that. So far i have only had 3 lessons so i can't comment on whether i pass first time or not , however i have booked my theory - only 3 weeks after first learning to drive a car! The lessons sound pricey but they are £27... Read review
