Should i learn to drive with LDC driving school?

Question

Hello

I will be starting driving lessons soon and i hope to pass before the start of summer (optimistic maybe), however i was planning to semi intensive driving course because i really don't want to drag this out any longer then is needed. LDC offer 30 hour driving course with the added benefit of a structured system were the provide all the learning material(DVD/ books) that i apparently use before the lessons to cut down on recap time. The course is around £600 in my area and that includes the test. Is this a good way to go or is it just useless hype designed to take my money?

Thanks for any responses

Answer 1

Much of it is hype - there's nothing new about their learning system, although they want you to believe there is. It all totally depends on the instructor you get - and you are as likely to get a good or poor instructor with LCD as you are with any driving school.

Answer 3

if anyone bothers to research LDC, the system they use is a very good one. and one that never existed when i pased 30 years ago. my daughter is learning and the LDC info of DVDs and booklet are very well laid out. If only that sort of technology was available when i started driving. to the original OP, my daughter had 10-15 lessons with an instructor, hours of practice with me sat next to her before even thinking about intensive driving courses. She is looking to do the 20 hour intensive with LDC. my advice would be to get some lessons in first to see where you are at, not everyone is a natural driver, before taking the plunge on an intensive. It will be very difficult to go from nothing to passing a driving test in 30 hours. realistically 50-60 is more like it. Good luck a driving licence is a priviledge not a right, look after yours and enjoy your freedom to roam.

Answer 4

Save your money. Choose an instructor not a school. The skill of a good Instructor is not in some amazing new system (they don't exist), it's in identifying each pupils faults and correcting them in the way that is right for that pupil. DVD's and CD-ROMS can't replace that!

Driving is a practical skill, get in a car and practice, after each lesson go away and recap, remember, and digest. If your really want a DVD the DSA's Drive DVD is excellent.

It is not the driving school that is important it is the individual instructors. Instructors are graded 1 -6. The majority are grade 4; very few are 6's. Try to find a 5 or 6 and arrange a trial lesson before you commit to paying for a course. You need to get on with your instructor and be comfortable with him/her.
