They even do a half day course once you've had a few lessons which allows them to drive in different conditions/different speeds, etc. We're looking to book that in September. Definitely recommend it, he's 14 and is developing a confidence for driving that I'm sure will help immensely when he gets out on the roads at 17.Megannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155988704652432879.post-83734274199595330202014-05-30T07:13:23.439-07:002014-05-30T07:13:23.439-07:00Totally agree!

I know it's expensive, but hopefully as more people realise that this is available it would bring the price down.<br /><br />I passed my driving test at 17, and crashed my car within 6 months. Fortunately no one was hurt, but my car was a complete write-off...with more experience, maybe I wouldn't have crashed. I kind of wish they did a drivers-ed in schools like they do in the States - it makes kids respect cars a bit more!<br /><br />Going to look into this for my son who will be learning to drive in the next couple of years! <br /><br /><br />Michelle Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02786732761856671353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155988704652432879.post-57021008264239633132014-05-25T07:20:30.109-07:002014-05-25T07:20:30.109-07:00I have never heard of this before and think it is ...I have never heard of this before and think it is a good idea xYou Baby Me Mummyhttp://www.youbabymemummy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155988704652432879.post-72503279782276040052014-05-25T04:31:57.271-07:002014-05-25T04:31:57.271-07:00I think they'd like it.
