BORROWED:

🚗 £46 an hour for driving lessons? Let’s put that into perspective…

When you compare driving lessons with other one-to-one professional services, the cost is actually very similar.

💇‍♀️ Haircut and blow-dry – £45–£60
🎹 Piano lesson – around £40
🏋️ Personal trainer – £45–£75
💆 Massage – £45–£75
🐕 Dog grooming – around £55
🚗 Driving lesson – £46

All these professions involve skill, training, experience and running costs, and deserve to be paid fairly.

But there’s something particularly valuable about learning to drive.

You’re not just paying for an hour of someone’s time. You’re investing in your future.

Driving brings independence, freedom, greater employment opportunities and everyday flexibility. And the skills you learn can benefit you for the rest of your life.

Your lesson fee also covers a fully insured, dual-controlled car, fuel, maintenance and dedicated tuition from a qualified professional.

And unlike most classrooms, ours is a moving classroom, surrounded by traffic, unpredictable hazards and other road users.

Instructors aren’t simply teaching. We’re constantly assessing risks, anticipating danger and making safety-critical decisions while helping inexperienced drivers develop those same skills.

Keeping everyone safe is a responsibility we carry on every lesson.

🚘 And what about the cost of owning a car?

Factor in buying or financing a vehicle, insurance, tax, MOT, servicing, repairs and fuel, and even a modest car can cost several hundred pounds a month.

That’s often comparable to the cost of regular driving lessons.

We accept these ongoing motoring costs, yet sometimes overlook the value of the professional training that prepares us to drive safely.

I fully appreciate that learning to drive is a significant financial commitment, especially for young people and families.

But rather than seeing lessons simply as an expense, perhaps we should recognise them as an investment in independence, opportunity and lifelong road safety.

Because passing your driving test isn’t the end of what you’re paying for. It’s just the beginning of what you get back. 🚗

Congratulations Leah Smith, who passed her test today at her first attempt, with 0 minor faults! Her initial test was cancelled at last minute & she managed to secure a cancellation today, which unfortunately, I was unable to take her to...however, she used her sister's car & achieved the result I anticipated.
Leah only had about 27hrs tuition, though was clearly ready after about 21hrs...odd sessions were held whilst waiting for her test to arrive!
A fantastic driver, with an excellent attitude to learning. It was a pleasure teaching her.

Big well done to Iestyn Thomas, who passed his test today, at his first attempt, with just 2 minor driver faults. Even gave the examiner a laugh at his surprise that he'd passed (& so convincingly!)

Big well done to Patrick Kehoe, who passed his test today at his first attempt, with just 3 minor driver faults. He asked me to sit in on his test & it was great to see him drive so confidently.

Screenshot from one of the instructor pages I follow.
An interesting opinion, which I agree with. I tell everyone at the start about how I want to be sure their standard is above that of the 'test'. I ensure pupils are good, safe, competent drivers. To me, its about so much more than passing a test...that 30-35 mins drive, where 15 minor faults are permitted.. 15!! Way too many in my view.
Anyway, I occasionally find that some people, particularly parents, want their son/daughter to have a go regardless, hoping they get a lucky 30-35 mins drive & pass.
They might...but are they going to be lucky every time they drive after that? Personally, I'd rather have the peace of mind knowing they are actually prepared for driving on their own safely, than hoping they fluke a test, that is quite easy once a certain standard is consistently shown to myself.

Well done Jacob Strong, who I discovered passed his test recently. After an initial unsuccessful attempt, a second test was booked which unfortunately clashed with a previously booked test, resulting in Jacob finding another instructor to take him to a successful result.

A big well done to James Lodge. After informing him that he wasn't quite ready for his initial test, he decided to attend in his own car & not take any further tuition. After an initial unsuccessful attempt, he managed to pass recently.
