Has anyone ever done one of those intensive driving courses where you stump up a large sum of cash and basically speed learn everything to do with driving?
It is something I'm considering once I've started work again as it is about time I got a car and, quite frankly, I am not keen on the conventional weekly lessons as it will take forever and it probably works out more expensive anyways.
It would also be nice to have a week away from my area while I'm at it.
So to those who have done them, would you recommend them? Did you feel adequately prepared to go onto the road afterwards?
Or was it a steaming pile of excrement and you got involved in an almighty shunt days later?
I'm quite confident about the prospect of driving and I've had a few goes in people's cars, it would just be a case of developing road awareness and knowledge of the signs and rules and everything really. And I believe you probably learn more when you are properly driving than when you are doing lessons anyways. It certainly holds no major fears, bar the obvious little foibles that most people have I suppose.
So, I'm thinking, why not go for it? Dissuade/persuade away!
