Pah! I'm back to lessons next week

Mondo · 25-07-2006, 20:53

just wondering how much do you pay for a lesson?

Mine were about £17 an hour when I was learning last Summer/Autumn.

Blackstar · 25-07-2006, 22:08

£215 for 10 hours soooo thats £21.50 an hour with BSM.

I'm hoping to do an intensive course which is 45 hours and including the test is £770 - I do have to do the theory on my own beforehand which is another £37 I believe.

I think I need another £150 so I should actually start reading the highway code so I'm slightly prepared - I know most of it is common sense but I'm carp with numbers so am a bit worried about breaking distances

Just got in now, the mini One is so fun and so easy to drive. Took me about 30 minutes or so to get used to but then it is really easy to catch it so it doesn't stall. Manage to quite a bit of driving, from very quiet housing estates to busy town center roads and i came out unscathed. Everything feel really good inside the car, all the bits blobs are quality. £19.50 a lesson, not bad really for the car i get to drive in and the market price.

I remember when I paid £9 a lesson ! ... That was nearly 10 years ago now

I paid £12.50 per lesson 14 years ago - only had 4 though which wasn't too bad
