It's time - Need to Learn to drive

[Clark Nova]

Ok, I'm 30 now but for various reasons I've never had a need to get my licence and was put of learning when I was younger when two of my cousins were killed in an accident. My place of work is being moved across town though in autumn and cycling for an hour in winter doesn't appeal to me so much so I've decided I'm going to have to learn to drive finally.

A couple of questions:

Should I learn with a larger school like AA or BSM or just go for a cheaper independent?

If I were to get a small car after (or even if!) I pass my test, how much would insurance be roughly? I have no idea whatsoever about the cost of running a car.


Thanks!

Cheaper independent all the way mate.. they will see you right

and insurance depends on ssoo many factors its hard to say.. but if you live in a good post code.. then id exspect it to be cheap on a small car at your age .. cars if looked after aint all that pricey to run.. once the buying the thing and getting it on the road is out the way

good luck

freedom awaits you

Postcode isn't great. I live in Nottingham and not the best part of town but I guess it's not the worst part either. How much can I expect for insurance on something <1.2l engine, about £100 a month or thereabouts considering I will be a first timer?
