The Pros and Cons of taking Driving Lessons Birmingham
Taking driving lessons anywhere in the UK is a big commitment and you need to know the pros and cons of taking lessons in order to make an informed choice of whether or not you're in a position to take driving lessons.
First the advantages (pros) of taking lessons, it's by far a huge life skill and something that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. You will only ever have to pass your driving test once and you acquire this life skill that will make everyday tasks so much easier.
With a driving licence you can cut everyday tasks in half leaving you with more spare time to do things that you may not in the past have had time to do. Going down to the local shop may before have been a half an hour job but with a driving licence you can cut this down to a 5 minute trip!
You can travel places where before public transport may have made it impossible to get to. You can even drive into another country on the same UK licence if you fancy a road trip? The places you can reach with your own mode of transport and a licence are endless and the world really is your limit!
Taking driving lessons Birmingham and obtaining your driving licence also opens new career opportunities for you. Before getting a licence career choices such as a taxi driver, bus driver, even a driving instructor were not available to you! It doesn't even have to be work in the driving or transport industry; it could be a job which involves you having to travel to different places.
The main thing and the disadvantage to taking driving lessons in Birmingham is the cost. Some people, although they would love to learn how to drive, simply don't have the finance to do so. This is the only disadvantage but is a massive hurdle to taking driving lessons and you must think about the following before you learn how to drive:
- You must first be able to cover the cost of your driving lessons, although this may be hundreds of pounds it will be over a long period of time and it may only cost you 20-40 pounds a week. For someone with a full-time job this shouldn’t be a problem but if you're in full-time education and only young this may deter you from learning.
- After paying for the tuition you then have to pay for the test fees. Although this isn’t a substantial amount it is something you have to think about. You're also charged every time you take a test so try to make sure you revise for you theory and are ready for your practical before you go in for them.
These are the only costs you have to obtain a driving licence and take driving lessons in Birmingham but it's important to think about the costs before you start. There are ways to save money when learning how to dirve and taking driving lessons has many advantages and is something that anyone who has or is in the process of taking will advise you to do if you have the money to do so.
