Some useful information for parents to consider when their children are about to learn to drive:
Most are taken aback at the average number of lessons now required (45+ hours) and the cost of passing potentially exceeding £1800, they then think back to passing their test in 10 hours or so and for about £8 per hour. The next reaction is then often to think about how to cut both the time and the cost involved....
But think very carefully, driving is a life skill and carries high responsibilities in todays crowded roads, parents will spend many thousands of pounds in raising their children to 17 years old but then suddenly decide to penny pinch on the one area which is most likely to result in them being killed or seriously injured.
