Intensive Driving Courses??
- Thread starter LockStock
- Start date
All I can say for them is that both the people I know who took them failed their tests very very badly, but have since passed after having conventional lessons.
My son did one a couple of years ago - 2 weeks
Cost him around £600 I think.

If you have prior experience on the road, then fine, you at least understand the mechanics of pointing a vehicle of some sort along a highway, and you will know what may happen to you, and how to react. If not, they are not designed to do anything except cram the test syllabus into you, and even then you are not guaranteed to pass. You leave these courses a worse driver than one who has completed a series of lessons, and about £600 lighter in the bank account. If you have time, then follow the normal route. If not, please let me know when you are going to be on the roads.

dont think it costs much difference either way, how much is 20-25 normal lessons over a couple months?

i did it two years ago for 550 quid
if your a fast learner, do it, but i wasn't really ready at the time, like i still was very immature and i pretty much wasted the money. now im ready but and a lot more experienced and grown up (in life generally) i feel ready, but is skint as f***.
but that's life. you cannot change the past. if you could, the world would be a very different place.

if i could change the past, somewhere along the line id make sure you turned out less of a loser.

Thanks, but I'm reasonably happy with myself at the moment. I'm nowhere there yet, but I'm learning. There is nothing else you can do apart from learn from your mistakes. I feel a far better person and its only my reputation that brings me down. But I have to live with that, because some people will never forget and you have to live with the consequences. If it wasn't for my reputation of things done in the past, I am pretty sure I would be a very likeable bloke.
you just shouldnt have touched young children in the past, its too late to go back now. no one forgets.

An apology means nothing if you don't mean it. And saying it on her means nothing, you have to earn people's respect. I know what I've done wrong and it's only up to me to show people I'm better and them to decide weather they respect me for it.

I don't no what this has come from. I've never touched young children or anyone under the age of consent when I've been over it.
i may have just assumed because you seem so smutty.
All my faults perchance thou knowest,
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes, where'er thou goest,
Wither, yet with thee they go.
Every feeling hath been shaken;
Pride, which not a world could bow,
Bows to thee - by thee forsaken,
Even my soul forsakes me now:
But 'tis done - all words are idle -
Words from me are vainer still;
But the thoughts we cannot bridle
Force their way without the will.
Fare thee well! thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie.
Seared in heart, and lone, and blighted,
More than this I scarce can die.
