Do either of you have experiences with Intensive Driving Courses? |

I did one to get my motorbike license. It's fucking hard work. Four or five hours of driving per day is mentally exhausting when you're a learner. If you're determined to pass and have a few days of spare holiday time, I think it can be a good option. Taking normal lessons of an hour a week is a bit "two steps forward, one step back", because you spend the beginning of each lesson just getting back to where you were at the end of the last one. If you live in an urban area, it can be easier to pass by taking an intensive course out in the sticks, but you might need a couple of extra post-pass lessons to get used to city driving. |

My missus did one and she passed first time, but she'd had years of experience of the rules of the road and general navigation as a cyclist, so I think she had a huge advantage over the average person there. |

My Mrs was doing a single 2 hours lesson a week for just over a month, just to get the basics down and get used to the car. Then she booked in an intensive week. She passed first time and the day she passed she booked in an advanced driving course so she could get some Motorway practice in. I do find if she wants to do something she just has an all or nothing attitude towards learning to do something. This style of learning obviously may not be for you. |

motorbike chariot racing.jpg I've been looking into DAS courses locally and it seems the going rate is £850 for five days including a CBT, or £750 for four days if you've already got one. The nearest school to me is conveniently within walking distance but it seems a bit iffy. They don't do it in five consecutive days for everything but in 3 consecutive days for a CBT and Mod 1, and then you wait a week to do the Mod 2 (just in case in you failed the Mod 1). Does that sound alright or am I better off finding a place that does it all in five days? |

I did a 30 hour course and passed first time with barely any prior driving experience. I'd booked a week off to do it all in go but when the instructor contacted me he advised doing no more than three hour lessons at a time (you just get bored/tired with any longer stint at the wheel) so we did some time in the weekends leading up to that week. Like has been mentioned elsewhere, if you've got prior road knowledge, I used to cycle all the time, it is a help as you have road 'sense'. |
