thanks cafcgirl and gem... i am quite clever with money i do agree :rotfl: back to college soon and the start of my new life... cant wait...

however when all was going so weel, got into work today and while i was on lunch i thought i would check my phone, dont check it very often only to find a text from my driving instructor... we were supposed to have a lesson tonight at 5pm... the message went like this hi pap cant drive tommorow (must have text me last night) will explain tom but i am not driving for 6 months contrating on gardening (end of text) so i am confussed i am hoping he will text me but i think its over with him... i dont honestly think he wants to take me i really want to give up now, i have my test in just under 1 month and no instructor will allow me use of their car if i have only just started with them cant decide anything till he phones though... we shall see :rolleyes:

thats bad about your instructor - i would ring a few others and explain and see if they would be willing to take you on. its money in their pockets so i wouldn't imagine they would flatly refuse.

Hi PAP,

Not very professional of your driving instructor ehh :rolleyes:

I was on my third instructor by the time I took my test. The first one I didnt like. The second one I absolutely adored, but got a phone call one night to say he had sadly collapsed and died.

At this point, I did give up for a bit, but had to carry on eventually.

As the others have said, ring round others. I'm sure you'll find 'the one'

well no call yet the problem is he is number 7 and i dont think i could cope with another one... we shall see what he says :rolleyes:

Hope that you get your driving sorted out superpap.
DONT give up now though!

You can do your test straight away with a new instructor, I did. Just try and find one who has the same model car.

Hope you find someone PAP

well no news yet... cant really do anything till tuesday but i am tempted to phone teh school this man came from, ie the school i am learning with now. I never had a letter from them when he wasnt staying with the school but i think they have to at least find me another instructor dont they, its complicated and hard to explain :rolleyes:

basically i started with safeway and they gave me this instructor... and by coisidence it was the same man that put a poster in our canteen. All was fine untill they were putting his franchise up and he wasnt getting enough pupils :rolleyes: so he decided to quit from them and start his own company, he explained he would get me through my first test as 'see how we go' once i failed he said he would carry on teaching the pupils from bristol (he wants to solely teach in wales now) untill each of them passed but only on a sunday... In this time he took a full time job as a postman for a month in wales so he could distribute his flyers...

anyway i think most of the bristol ones have now passed leaving me on my own. I have explained i will pay the toll for the bridge (taking 1hours lesson to £27) but to be honest i think he just wants shot of me ~ fair enough but just have the decency to tell me :rotfl:

what a ********!

I would phone a few schools like others have said, explain the situation, tell them roughly how many hours you've had, and they'll probs look for the best instructor to suit what you need, which isnt skills, its confidence.

Like has been said before, theyd rather have your money then let someone else have it!

I just think that its such a bad way for the DI to behave.
