Real one's that is. Just wondering what's involved in training to become an instructor - time, costs etc.

You need to have had a clean licence for a number of years, 10 I think, which counts most people on here out;)

Try visiting the UK Driving Instructors Confederation site:

Slightly off topic... a few years back, whenever you saw a Driving Instructor driving their car alone, they were the model of perfect driving standards, adhering to speed limits, keeping to the correct lane, being thoroughly considerate, at all times to other motorists.

This all seems to have changed. In this week alone, I have been cut up, nearly crashed into, and quite frankly shocked at the lack of manners exhibited by Driving Instructors. They seem to act the role of sensible driver when in charge of a pupil, but become some raving loony, off the leash, when left to their own devices.

What is the world coming to?

I went with BSM a while back.

Max points is 3 and then they look unfavourably on 6.

Hold a licence for 5 years.

Has 3 parts.

1st is theory test, 2nd is your driving (a nightmare) and 3rd is instruction.

I got another 3 points on my licence so had to give up.

Cost around 2-2500 quid.

Become a taxi driver. Far more money in it (a grand a week) and less hassle.
