A lot of people fail these. If you are a confident driver and feel you could jump straight into a car and know most of the basics then give it ago.

You'd be better off craming loads of lessons in a week if you want to pass quickly.

yeh, tbf i wouldnt rush it as imo its better to pick it up slowly and get used to being on the road more before being left alone in there.

no offence but i imagine people who do the quick pass schemes are more likely to crash/have accidents imo. (just because they havent had as much on the road experience. (but then again i may be wrong)

i can see where you are coming from there, with only having a weeks road experience then if passing being let loose by urself most will end up crashing because of not having experience in different situations, didnt really think of it like that before

Sarah (I hope I've got your name right) ?

I'm hopless, I took 10 lessons and gave up - I was petrified everytime I got behind the wheel. Totally lacked confidence.

I just started taking lessons again last week, different driving school and I felt so much better, for the 1st time I'm looking forward to my next lesson instead of dreading it!!

My last instructor was a growler

I'd consider an Intensive Course but think its a good idea to take a couple of hourly lessons 1st and that will give you a feel of how your doing before handing over all that money?

Yeah i think that is quite a good idea

I wouldnt jump into it straight away.

Do some road lessons first and see what you can actually can do etc.

No point forking out a fortune when you can't even use the clutch etc.

A calculated guess!

Only joking, I looked at your profile

Yeah I had a female instructor and she was awful, I was a total wreck.

Hopefully I'll stick at it this time tho

Good luck with yours

have you had any lessons or done your theory yet?
if not dont book a crash course untill you have had a few lessons and know if you are picking it up well or struggling also most crash test will want you to have passed our theory before you start it..

I havent done my theory yet looking to do that soon but was just wondering everyones opinions on a crash course cos it was something i was having a look into. Im a bit impatient tbh lol and was hoping to pass by the time im 21 in september

by the sounds of things seems like i am better off taking a few lessons first
