Cool..
Red Driving school are well known on here.0 -
£4000 to learn to drive (or not as the case may be) those are some mighty expensive lessons they sold you.
I know this is of limited use to you but I would always recommend finding a local independent driving instructor. I have heard of people who used AA and the likes and got a different instructor for every lesson. How is that conducive to a healthy learning environment?Graduated 16 July 2013 with First Class Honours :jHouse Deposit: £6,493.10 - Cashback Total: £447.670 -

The OP reads like it was written by someone trying to drown their sorrows in the early hours but I believe he is talking about the purchase of a franchise whereby Red famously get people signed up to finance to train as driving instructors.
Lots of complaints about them here and on various consumer complaint programs.0 -
Red make marvelous promises about earnings on completion of training.
Which is why it is their sole aim to ensure you do not complete the course.
They do not have to deliver those promises to people who fail.
I too pictured a drunkard behind the wheel of a Red liveried mini.0
