LOL Thanks Gaz you made me laugh!

I'm thinking maybe a large company might be the best idea .... previously been with Greenlight and found that instructor fantastic but then I had to move back "home" to parents house and its too far......

I am female, and yes I am lacking self-confidence / self-esteem but am working on these things and I've recently "noticed" that people who are successful (in whatever it is they do) know when to sack something for whatever reason.

I'm near Blackburn, at back of beyond....

I'm going to have to suck it up and work on the actual technique in the future....

People who are successful would not have had a second lesson with this bloke and would have got their money refunded. Just tell him! Note down all the points and say that you are dissatisfied with the service and never want to be in a car with him again.

Hello ...

Well I'm not sure whether to start a new thread for this but as its on a similar theme then I'll try continuing for the time being.

I went with a completely different driving instructor (a franchise) as a result of the advice on here and he is a great instructor and I've recently paid up for me first set of 10 lessons (am upto No 6).

However, now I simply cant get any time with him. My last lesson was the 14th and prior to that I asked him should we book further in advance and he said it wasn't necessary. However, on the 14th he then said his car was off the road for one day and he was booked up for the rest of the week. I said Oh ok if anything came up at short notice then please text me as I am off all week.

I am on a zero hour contract and so only find out my hours on a specific day each week. I've confirmed my hours for the coming week today and he's texted to say that he can do two particular days this week. I can do one of them apart from a period a of 2 hours in the middle of the day to which he's replied he can only do time which covers that ........ He's suggested 9am on two other days but I start work at 7.30am. He's now replied that I should get back to him when I have more time off work.

I feel aggrieved as I have the majority of three days available to pick from Monday / Tuesday and Thursday this week which I feel is adequately "available" to fit in an hours driving lesson while he isn't available.

As always though I am not sure whether I am "right" to feel this way and what to do about it. I am desperate to learn to drive (desperate to pass) and its this instructor who has said that I need to alter my belief in myself otherwise I will never pass and we've even talked about a relatively close date by which I would like to pass.

Thanks
