    I had to go on a 1h bus ride to get these. I picked up the kast two packs on the shelf. I might go back tommrrow to get the other lower ones. Oh yeah and a big thank you to the person who wrote the first post.

    By that time they'll have a much reduced validity period.

    Please people don't just buy them to stick on Ebay to make some cash. Some people actually want some lessons that otherwise they would be unable to afford to go from lessons to test. They aren't just there as an easy way to make a quick buck for people who could otherwise work and pay income tax.sylm_2000 has the best Idea selling on at cost price. If you want to make money on Ebay buy lots of kitkats, or list yourself as a servant :rotfl:

    Am sure I will figure out what to do with unused vouchers if the need arises. Apparently if you book a test in Leeds it takes a good few months from booking to the actual test so I might need them and more to keep practicing.

    Not sure ppl would want an out of date highway code lol and books cost alot to send in post..

    Sorry - I only meant you might be able to get rid of the L plates etc. on Ebay. I wasn't suggesting buying lots of the packs to sell on Ebay. You will be surprised at what people do want. Either that or take them down the local charity shop. I am sure things won't have changed that much in the new editions.

    Only trying to help.

    lmao .... i think playing all the GTA games (except GTA London... never did get round to that one) helped me pass my test.

    Someone in Lancaster put a massive Couranga sign up below a bridge. Makes me think about GTA and having to run over 6 people in 2 seconds to get it the magic word to appear on the screen. ha.

    A question. The Discount and Simulator vouchers. These are not stamped and dated (only the prepaid vouchers) therefore how do BSM know whether they are within the 12 month purchase period? I assume they can only be used in conjunction with the main voucher?

    Anyone tried taking in the simulator voucher yet and had it declined because it was not dated?

    Also thought I might poke fun at this Ebay seller who obviously wants to hide the fact the vouchers are from Halfords (see their edited photo).

    On the backof my box it says - "Get one year's free RAC roadside membership when you block book 10 lessons & pass your Practical Test with BSM" - will this work with our vouchers? Even better bargain if it does!!

  • Just called my local halfords and they said 'We've sold out - didn't you call yesterday about the same thing?". Looks like someone else got there before me. Any idea how I can track down one of these packs?

    Makes me sick that people go out of the way to get these probably after seeing it on here and then dont even need them and put them on ebay to make a quick buck :mad:

    Some people really need these like students (me) who need to save money ..just makes me (grrr)

    Are the simulator vouchers only with the 4hr packs. I have just cleared out my local halfords of the 1hr and 2hr packs but they had sold out of the 4hr ones. I'm hoping the next nearest halfords will have some.
