    This sort of thing was the reason why I changed from a 'big' driving school to a small, independent lady with a fantastic rep. Well, that sort of thing and also the fact that my BSM instructor turned up to a lesson still sozzled from the night before with a nose still bloodied and broken because he was so drunk he rolled down a hill and hit a tree.

    Hello Ajoxford, we appreciate you have already spoken to someone from The AA regarding this, however if there is anything outstanding which you would like to discuss, please ask your Son to email his full name, address and pupil number to chat@theaa.com with Reference FOR40460. Regards, The AA
    Sort of sums things up.

    Money for lesson to be refunded, and also a lesson learnt. Agree would advise anyone on small driving school in future, more of a personal/professional touch.

    No and to be honest apart what happened & the fact he really didn't know Newbury area it was no surprise. The AA instructor who took him was really nice fella who after 2 hrs assessment told him he would pass. Nevermind, onwards & forwards and a local independent instructor with a local test centre next time for my lad.

    That'll be the BSM that ditched a contract with the MoD, then?

    Financial failure, or somesuch?

    Left my colleagues and I to pick up the pieces from the mess? [DST ]
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
