He is more of a friend now, half my mates know him and keep in regular contact maybe that could be a reason, also he fits me in at all sorts of different timne, really early in the morning, late in the evening...as long as I get my lessons I dont mind. i've seen his dairy, he even said he gives priority to those who are closer to their tests and as im not that far away maybe he is setting some time asdie for me.

Oh and another thing, just remembered, he could be doing it because I gave him a phone contract the other day, long story but I gave him a phone contract at a bargain price, so, maybe it's his way of returning the favour?

Finally, I'm the one who thinks I need 10 more lessons, dont want to sound big headed but I reckon I'm ready. My instructer thinks 10 more should be enough but we shall see after the 10 as I got to brush up on a few things. You cant just say after 10 hrs im all good, you have to do the full 10hrs and see if you need anymore lessons, hopefully not in my case.

I done and passed my theory in Fedbruary 2007.

Don't forget - passing your driving test doesn't mean you know how to drive - it tells you that you are driving to a standard that means you are fit to continue learning on your own (and this process continues all through your life... - take it from someone qualified to drive ambulances on blues and two's - I am advanced qualified etc and even I learn something new all the time - I'm trying very hard to not be patronising here, but really... You're young and invincible - I know because I was once - right up until I had to perform CPR on a friend and when he passed away I was the one having to call his family, friends and work and I had the task of going and telling his wife that we couldn't save him... I've had 6 years to think very hard about my own mortality after that day and I wil always have nightmares. But I bet not as many as the guy who was driving and caused it...

This really isn't a go at you - it's just an old fogey (27...) trying to pass some very hard earnt lessons on in the hope others never ever have to stand in the same spot and have to tell someone that a person they love has passed away so tragically...

Driving instructor aside - because this is only a matter of our opinion on why he has this much time no matter what time of day - some of us feel he might not be worth the money because he has too much spare time - we could be wrong! But in reality if we are not then all that will happen is you will fail - if you are not ready to be let out then you won't pass - simple as. Worst case you will have lost some money and have to get lessons with someone better. False economy - but nothing more.

The driving un-supervised treally truely is what I think concerns a lot of us - no matter where you do it.

Be safe... and if you want to take the advice that we think it's false economy to go with this instructor then do so If not then again entirely your choice... Just stay safe

When I was learning I was doing 2hr lessons, and did about 10 in total. Didn't have to pay to "hire" the car for the test but was obviously charged the cost of a lesson (£20) and the instuctor picked me up from work and took us back there.

Re: the road by the block of flats - it's probably privatly owned but may still count as "public road", just like supermarket carparks are

I had 1 lesson and was told the DI was putting me in for my test. By the time my test came up i had about 5 lessons and passed first time.

20 years later, have been a driver in the British Army, now drive police cars and not a single prang! (touches wood!)

Pre-lessons I too used to take mum's car for a spin without her knowing Even though it was on our land, looking back, it was still a stupid thing to do!
