    Driving Instructor…

    A question I thought I’d never ask but if anyone had any driving instructor recommendations I’d gladly take them. Never driven before. Go easy on me!

    Also appreciate cause of lock down there’s a massive backlog. Still. Can try!

    Scott from Lemon Squeezy, passed first time with him, guy is brilliant, really calm guy who explains everything so well, makes it really easy to learn and teaches the basics to perfection, think he also has a high pass rate too

    Richard at Edinburgh City Driving School was great with me.

    Really decent guy as well who I have kept in touch with long after passing my test. I was a bit older when I started lessons and it was almost like going out a drive with a mate.

    Not sure if still avaialable but it used to be possible to book a week intensive driving course with test at the end of the course.
    Good luck learning!

    Think it’s still hard to get that.

    I’ve heard about people going down south to get lessons there’s that much of a demand!

    Congratulations mate, it's not your driving you have to watch out for, it's the rest of the idiots that you will. Out of interest, who did you go for for your lesson's

    Well played! I passed mine at the grand old age of 39 and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done, after decades of rejecting the idea. Less than two years behind the wheel and I struggle to remember how I survived without a car.

    Indian chap? If so, absolutely brilliant guy and similarly I kept in touch with him afterwards.

    Congratulations on your pass, now forget everything you've learnt and educate yourself on the Pet Driving Peeves thread.
