    Right, my lesson today was meant to be 2-3 ... she picked me up at 2:50

    She dropped me off at 2:34. When she asked me to pay, I asked how much..and she still charged me £18! so i told her I'm not having a lesson next week cause I can't afford it & to book my test tonight or tomorrow..and she started tellin me that I need to stop going out every weekend.

    So I'm thinking to get a new instructor? But is it pointless if I'm ready to do my test? She's told me last week "that I've been ready for weeks, but because I didn't ask her about it, she thought I didn't feel ready" which has pissed me off too because isn't it her place to tell me when she thinks I'm ready?

    I don't really know why I've made this thread lol...but should I get a new driving instructor? Or just stick her out & keep having half lessons for full priced ones?

    So she arrives 10 minutes before the end of lesson, you get less than 30 minutes driving time, and she expected the full lesson price? Did you not stop to ask "Oh hi, how come you were 50 minutes late?" or "why are you insisting I pay the price of a full lesson, for less than 30 minutes?".

    You're actually asking yourself if you should keep paying full price for half lessons?...

    (but yes, get a new instructor. there's no shortage of them. its your money, if you're paying £18, then you should expect full lessons with an instructor who doesn't take the piss and actually wants you to pass, not someone who's just interested in getting money off you and delaying your progress)

    do you mean she dropped u off at 3.34??

    nd plus if you cant afford it because you do go out at the weekends.... mayb if u stayed in or done sumthin tht didnt cost so much that you could afford it the next time...

    i remember when i was working 20 miles away from my house i cldnt really afford it as i would have to get different trains and buses to get bk home nd to work... (plus shellin out loads on moto x bikes nd off roaders i cldnt afford it) but hey when u pass u can do whteva u wnt.... but dont go to ne parties or nethin with a car and think ul leave the car there....

    i went to my mates party got absolutly hammerd, passed out in my car with the door open at 4 in the morn... was seen at 7 by another mate still passed out wit tha door open so they tryed shutting me in... but i woke up and drove home :S.... cnt memba fuk all of this but then again i also got kicked out 4 times and got my mate kicked out her own party... which i also cant remember...

    Personally I'd stick with her, you've been with her a while and are close to going for your test so there's no point changing now.......*Sarcasm*

    That's what my mother told me, and if I change now, I'd have to have a minumum of 15 or 18 lessons before I can sit my test.

    You don't have to have a set amount, I know somebody who had one lesson before saying to the instructor 'I'm ready for my test' too which the instructor replied 'If you pass I'll pay for the test', he passed.

    You can have as many as you want until YOU feel comfortable enough to go for your test. Hell if you have your own car already then even better as you won't even need to get a new instructor, just take it in your own car.
