LOL. People are usually afraid of being on a motorbike because they don't have the security of a big metal box around them.
When I learnt to drive, many, many, many years ago I paid £7/lesson.
My bike test was easy too. A couple of times around the block and don't run over the examiner when he jumps out for the emergency stop.
I know, I'm a strange one
I think it's cos I have been round bikes all my life plus I know if I come off at 80, I roll along (have had 2 accidents over 80mph) yet in a car, if that loses control, I have no option but to sit there and hope for dear life...
A bike... jump off, take a few bumps and knocks, let the money you spent do its job, helmet + leathers + boots + gloves will keep you save enough.

And your buying a mini? Seriously, they're nice cars but compared to a more modern car they're a death trap.

Local indies are way better than companies if you find a good one, the guy i learned with i passed after 18-20 hours (can't remember exactly), £20 an hour or £18 if you book 10 at a time. Find a decent indie.
Most of the guys i know who went with bsm etc. Paid over the odds for lessons and took 30+ lessons to pass, a fair few transfered to indies halfway through.
Don't just go with the cheapest one though, get a decent instructor else it's a false economy, less lessons required = less money spent.

Not if he passed his bike test before 2001 he does'nt
only have to do the theory car test if he passed a bike test after that date
