Driving Lessons in Shrewsbury - Avoid getting ripped off

With it's semi-rural location, Shrewsbury residents need to be able to drive in order to travel outside of the town centre. Within the centre of Shrewsbury the public transport system is really quite good but any more than 5 miles outside of the town and the public transport goes from being good to infrequent. This is because 5 miles in any direction from Shrewsbury town centre you will find yourselfin some of the pretiest countryside in the whole country.

There are a large proportion of residents within the country areas who need to drive to commute and for recreational activities. Those living within the town also have a need to drive because there are a number of key business and Industrial areas in otherparts of Shropshire as well as Leisure activities.

Shrewsbury is situated half an hour from Telford, one hour from Birmingham, and only one and a half hours from places such as Manchester, Alton Towers and the Beach.

It is no wonder then that as soon as the majority of Shrewsbury residents reach 17 years of age their thoughts turn to learning to drive, and in Shrewsbury you will find a huge choice of driving schools all offering driving lessons from as little as 12.50 up to 25.00 for a one hour driving lesson.

Ususally the first thing you do is break out the Yellow Pages or switch on the laptop/pc and

GOOGLE Driving lessons in Shrewsbury. This would produce a very large list of driving schools all trying to get your business. Choosing the right one can be tricky so be careful.

Some points to consider are: Are you paying for 1 hour lessons? many driving schools still do 50minute lessons. This will usually also involve piggy backing to and from the next lesson. This is where the instructor gets you to drive to the next pupils house. Once there you get in the back and the new pupil drives you home. Its not one-to-one tuition.

Is the instructor fully qualified? There are many instructors giving driving lessons in Shrewsbury who are still only trainees. This is because when training to be an instructor you can teach for real in your last 6 months of training. Do you want a trainee to teach you?

Do they have any testimonials or recommendations? Look at their website for recommendations but also look for others on sites like the best of shrewsbury or touch local. Friends and relatives may also be able to offer some recommendations. Many may have personal experience of a driving school.

Remember there is a golden rule when looking for a business to provide a service such as driving lessons. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Meaning if you pay 12.50 for an hours lesson you will get 12.50 worth of instruction. The instructor will make a loss if he allows you to drive too much for this price. In todays market 20 an hour is a fair price to pay since this will allow you to get quality instuction whilst still allowing the instructor to make a profit.

Trial lessons are a good idea. Ask for a trial lesson and you will see if you get on with the instructor and the car you will be driving. Don't be surprised though if you find that you will have to do a 2hour lesson as a trial.

Don't forget though that if after a few lessons you think you may have made a mistake with your selection then you can change to a different instructor. Its your money so spend it wisely.
