Semi intensive driving?

Question

Semi intensive driving?
i am thinking of doing a semi intensive driving lessons, does anybody have any information on these fast track passes, has anybody done this before? how long did the whole thing last how many weeks?

i am 6 weeks pregnant so want to pass my test before i get a massive tummy but think the intensive lessons which is over a week is to much for me (stress)

Answer 1

i am a driving instructor what i would recommend is doing 2 2 hour lessons a week. but remember with being pregnant you may find it stressful any way. (hormones)
don't pay to go on one of these intensive or semi intensive course, just contact your local driving school and see if the have a instructor who can do a couple of lessons a week, and just pay as you go. this way if you do find its getting to much you can just stop your lesson and not lose any money.

Answer 2

dont do them, they are not advised by any decent instructor, because more people who do these go on to have a an accident in the first year of passing, i believe things like driving lessons shouldnt and cant be rushed! another reason is they cost a fortune and NONE can garantee you a pass, so you could end up forking out hundreds more pounds after to pass still!
example:
my friends spent £500 doing a weeks intensive course she failed the test at the end, she then changed and did one hour lessons and two lessons once a week, she failed a further 3 times, and in the long run spent twice as much because of the course, she passed on the 5th attempt, so no these really are not a good idea, she says she should never have done the course, and wouldnt advise anyone else to either

Answer 3

Well the very first thing you will need to do is get your theory test and hazard perception test passed as you wont be able to take your driving test without it,and there are sometimes a waiting list of two months so book early.When i had driving lessons i enquired about the intense courses and he said you need at least 5 hours tuition before they will allow you to do the intense course.It took me two over 60 hours of learning before i passed my test,where as it took my partner only 13 hours so if an intense course isnt for you then maybe have a couple of hours tuition a week.it costs about £ 20 an hour,it can be costly but worth it in the end.

Answer 4

Congratulations on the pregnancy!!

I did a intensive driving course of 2days (driving for 8hrs one day, and the test the following). It worked for me, but I don't hear of many success stories i'm afraid!

I did it like that because I had already 40+ hours of practice and 1 test, and just wanted to go away quickly and do it.

I went up to blackpool and did it with a company called A1 driving school. The instructor was awful and the test centre was 2hrs away, (which I had to drive, THEN go and do the test straight after - very stressful).

Try and do it in 2-3months, in your home town, practicing for 2-4hrs a week and then going for the test. Don't rush it, you'll just lose alot of money, and it will be a waste of time and extra stress you don't require right now.

Good luck

Answer 5

hi, widely used classes are what maximum have, yet will take you some months, that is maximum acceptable to have about 2 hourly classes consistent with per week. notwithstanding, as you progression on, and are closer to the smart attempt, the type of classes per week would properly be higher. wide classes would properly be intense priced, Semi-wide are similar. The DSA reccomend 45hrs with ADI, and 22 hours inner most preparation with a relied on chum or relative answer = widely used classes

Answer 6

i have not done it, but the only thing that really helped me is practice after practice after practice, with breaks in between, to reflect on the practise.

passed my test with about 14 weeks practice (went out driving with an experienced driver)

Answer 7

If you are only 6 weeks pregnant, you have plenty of time. You don't need to do it all in a week
Good luck
