i learnt to drive out here in the sticks with separate lessons over maybe 3 months but did my B+E (car with heavy trailer) test in aberdeen with "intensive" 3 day training.
i found the "intensive" training was really tiring and hard to take eveything in (even though i'd been driving with trailers for years and in the instructors own words "knew all there was to know already"..... just what you want to hear when you've paid up a few hundered quid to be taught stuff...)
after i did my trailer training and test (did over 300miles in the 3 days
) i didn't want to ever drive again, which is pretty shite seein as i own four cars as i loved driving so much!!
the separate lesson route was much more civilised and definatly the way i'm going to do things in the future!
also i did my first car test with BSM, was very happy with it, got loads of help with booking tests and all that jazz.
