some advice on learning to Drive

[vinny_69]

The wife has decided to learn to drive but looking at the cost of lesson these days it aint gonna be cheap, i remember when i had my 3 lessons it was 9 squid an hour
i know some of you are instructors etc so what do you think would be best?

1. forking out for a crash course.
2. putting her on the cally insurance and teaching her myself then fork out for just a few lessons to see if she is ready.
3. take out a hefty mortgage and just pay for lessons.
4. anything else you can come up with


also the wife thinks that if she gets to drive the cally she might start to like the thing

well i wouldnt advise learning in a cally...worn clutch,crunched gears over revving etc plus its not small or good visability.

id borrow a parents car and use theres lol.

[vinny_69]

you mean its the perfect car to learn in otherwise i would have to get shot of it

[k1nty]

tell her if she breaks it youll see a solicitor about a quickie divorce....lol.

[vinny_69]

cant i just repair it

[k1nty]

are you under the thumb allready?i reckon your just after a quiet life,ha ha

[vinny_69]

at the moment we can only afford the one car so either she learns to drive the cally or i will have to join some poxy corsa forum
so i think the cally would be the perfect learning car dont you agree

[k1nty]

i agree mate,if you put it that way.calibra with l plates it is.has she started on the theory part yet?

[vinny_69]

nope not yet she has just sent off for her provisional today

The insurance will cost you an arm and a leg mate, probably cheaper to buy a batch of 10 lessons for £200 ish. (what my boy paid about 18 months ago)

it will depend on ages mostly for teaching her on the cally. the big plus is that if she can drive and park a cally she will deffo be able to take the test in a small 106/ corsa

[vinny_69]

Thanks for all your help guys

[cally8valver]

it may actually reduce your insurance if you add her too even if she is a learner reason apparently they only have small claims where we go the full monty mine dropped by nearly 70 quid just by addin her even though she never drives it

[vinny_69]

you have added my wife to your insurance?????????????
