Driving schools are the kind of service that you hope you'll never have a broad range of experience in. Learn it. Test it. Drive it.
I had 40 hours worth of lessons with BSM, including several at the beginning in a driving simulator. The simulator I was good at, apparently I got further into it than a lot of people. I was proud. But then came the actual driving.
My instructor was very friendly and relaxed, and in retrospect I think he was a bit too relaxed. He was happy to have me drive around for 2 hours around country lanes each time, when actually I needed more of a push to get me over the hump of nervous driving.
After 40 hours I had not learnt (or even been shown) how to reverse or park or three point turn, or any of that. This, to me, seems a little bit silly. But then, I've got no way of telling if I really was that hopeless. So for that reason I'll stick to 3 stars. Could be better though. read more
