MPH Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 I know a few people who have done them and its worked out well. I dont remember who they would reccomend though.. The only advice they gave me is that after you learn to drive, spend a bit of time just getting used to the roads before you start taking passengers around with you.. whether its getting into parking spaces when there's a car behind you getting inpatient, remembering to signal at the time and place, navigating a roundabout , remembering which lane you need to be in on major roads... its all so much easier to do without passengers in your car. learning to driver and being an experienced drive are two different things, of course.. There's also two type of insurance, you probably already know this, 3rd party, fire and theft and fully comprehensive. the 2nd type covers you for everything but can be much more expensive. Even more so for a completely new driver, yet the first one doesn't cover your car if you get into a crash of any type if you are the one responsible for it.. so thats something to think about. Good luck!

ianormondroyd Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 I am a driving instructor in the Anstey area, unfortunately I don't do intensive courses as they are not really my thing and I have another job which makes it difficult to fit them in. I would suggest trying https://www.drivinginnovation.co.uk/ you should speak to a chap named Colin (tell him Simon sent you) who has a number of instructors working for him so there should be one available in your area! Hope it all works out, if you need further guidance then by all means private message me and I'll try and help. drive4it.co.uk mentioned above are good too, I know a few of their instructors although they are mainly based in Loughborough, I believe!

Feeling bad now the help is pouring in - I do know somebody @Finnegan, his name is Gary (Gaz) and he's actually really good and he's from Birstall.

Is this one of those things like when you put your mates name and number on the toilet door in a pub as a wind up or are you genuinely trying to help him now? For a good time (in a car) call Gaz...
