Learning to drive in Loughborough

R.C.Anderson · 9 Oct 2010 at 15:00

I'm wanting to learn to drive whilst I'm at Uni in Lougborough, but I don't know what any of the instructors are like, has anyone had an instructor there that they would recommend? I want someone who will be able to get me to pass in a reasonable amount of time (of course), but also be friendly.

Thanks all

Loughborough, represent!

I was in Bill Mo first year, house 2nd, on a placement at IBM now.

I can't believe towers is that much, it's disgusting.

How are they getting away with charing that much for towers? I know it's newly refurbished, but it would have to be absolutely amazing to be worth that much :s

The lasagne was good as well, bet the place isn't the same in the summer without the field.

I learnt in Loughborough, I found Gerald Hing good. He is a bit old but he is a very relaxed person so doesnt raise his voice etc which I prefer. He taught my dad, mum, grandma and brother too.

Was £20 a lesson, or if you paid £200 in one go you got 11 lessons.

Another former Lboro student here - Computing and Management 2002-2004, 2005-2006 (with a sandwich placement in between!).

Can't help with driving instructors I'm afraid!
