Driving instructers in Brighton

[surrey jim]

Just after some upto date info as the o/h is looking to start lessons soon, Does anyone have recomendations / places to avoid and are prices still around the £20per hour mark?

 

[Bakesy]

Jim, i don't know if Gerbil is still teaching..might be worth sending him a message.

 

[Jake Manthorpe]

When i done my lessons a few years ago it was 18 pound a lesson. i think it's more like 20-25 now. avoid anywhere in brighton.

I learnt with Viv Melfi, lives near Preston Park way, really nice bloke who boopboodidoops s you drive along and regales you with the days when he used to be a session musician and travelled the country.

I passed my first test with him (after failing 3 times with other instructors) and my Sister passed first time in short shrift. I dont have his number to hand but will find it out if interested.

I was taught to drive by a musician too - can't recall his name but his company (one yellow mini) was called The Not Exceedingly Large University of Motoring. Anyone remember his name?

He once got out of the car when I kept stalling on Hove Park Road to lambast a driver behind who kept hooting his horn. I remember him shouting that there probably wasn't a test when the poor old chap he was laying in to got his licence.

My dad is a driving instructor with the AA, he is based in Eastbourne but has a few pupils over in Brighton

His website is here

I am a driving instructor (though sadly based up in North London so no good for your o/h's requirements).

Might like to move back down one day soon but if you are looking for one in the immediate future that ex-session musician guy sounds like the perfect tonic!! Friendly and decent standard.

You should be able to get lessons for £20 or a little above with a good instructor either way though.

I got taught by Ted at XL school of motoring 30 years ago and he is still going so must be doing something right ! http://www.locallinkup.com/Brighton/xl-school-of-motoring_2060116.html

 

[Anais Nin]

Me too, with Ted at XL. Both my daughters, both of my sisters in law & my best mate from school (35 years ago). Ted has an outstanding record of first time passes also. Terrific laugh and really puts you at ease.

Oh and a couple of my mates, my mother and an ex-girlfriend

Billingtons driving school, im using it at the moment and its been top notch. Really nice bloke who's into his football etc so something to talk about, and is a good instructor at the same time. Its £23 an hour, but for every person i reccommend at the moment i get £25 cash.

 

[John Sayers]

A very good friend of mine is a driving instructor. He lives in Peacehaven but covers the Brighton area. If you block book with him, the first 10 lessons work out at £18 / hour and there after it goes up to £20 / hour for the next 10 hour blocks.

I am happy to give out his details if tou PM me.
