@metrouk: Learning to drive is getting so expensive that L-platers are turning to YouTube and TikTok to save money... and fair enough. Driving lessons cost around £35–£50 an hour these days, and with the average learner needing around 45 hours of lessons, costs can quickly skyrocket into the thousands. It’s no wonder kids are turning to the apps to learn these basic, yet now unaffordable, life skills. #UKNews #Driving #DrivingTest #LearnerDriver #RoadSafety

Refusing to teach your children how to drive is abuse. I’ll die on that hill. How dare you have the ability to help your children get ahead and withhold that.

Its not like i'm happy this is happening to the kids now and economy, but welcome society to how it is to be poor. Cant afford cars or driving lessons, cant afford to go out to do fun things.

No because why am I paying £40 to drive around, the instructor isn’t saying anything, just telling me directions and nothing else?

Problem is a lot of instructors are very shit at their job. From experience it’s really hard to find someone who’s passionate and willing to teach you. They just want to take your money and expect you to know the ins and outs of driving already.

I paid 110$ for a 2 hour lesson. Instructor told me I did great just needed more practice. I have still not practiced because nobody wants me to use their car.

Yep! Passed my driving test first time last week, 2 months after turning 17. Had 3 lessons with an instructor but the rest of the time I was watching YouTube videos & incorporating those tips into private practise with my dad.

If you have a family car get learner insurance and someone in the passenger seat who’s 21 and over with 3 years of driving experience and they can teach you. That’s free

I paid 200$ for my class, just for the instructor to be a dick to me the entire time and make snarky comments and when I passed. He said I was lucky enough to pass. It destroyed my confidence to actually drive for 3 years.
