Check out your local yellow pages, thompson, etc for a local school.
Better still, ask around locally for recommendations.
Advantages:
1. It'll be a lot cheaper - top whack around here is £18ph for local schools ( you can get it down to £10-12 ph with some haggling, advance booking, block booking etc)
2. You'll get the same instructor each lesson - you don't always when you book through the big companies
3. The instructor will be a fully trained and approved driving instructor - the big companies often use trainees to teach you (which is fully legal, strangely) - the small operator will often be a 1 man/woman band.
4. The instructor will probably be better. He or she depends on getting new business through recommendation so has a personnal interest in giving good service and mostimportantly getting you through the test. The big schools get their bookings through advertising and general awareness."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
Does your mum shop at tesco! The vouchers can be used with the deals - ie 4 x the value for bsm lessons

The Tesco thing is great, if you have enough points (if you/your family collect them). For £60 in points you get 6 hours driving, 2 hours on the simulator and a book/cd-rom pack.
If not, there's several other alternatives.
If you have a Connexionscard, YoungScot, UCAS or NUS card, you can get a £2 discount on EVERY LESSON you take with BSM. (Took this info from their website).
Also, if you're with RAC, there's some discounts.
And I think there's a referral system for BSM: if an existing customer recommends you, you get a free lesson and a year's RAC roadside cover if you buy 10 lessons. (PM me if you're interested - I can refer you.)
On a final note, you're lucky if they charge £22.75 where you are... Round here it's £25 per hour :eek: (cheaper if you buy a block of 10 or 30).0
