I was taking lessons from my uncle because he's an actual driving instructor, so I was pretty comfortable with him teaching me up until that point, it just sort of threw me off

I'm looking to get back into it after my birthday though so alls good

No. I have always wanted to, but it costs too much here. Meaning I don´t have money for it.

For information sake:

Basic level (B) costs already 1670 € ~ 1 236,13 GBP (This is the card you need to be able to drive a normal passenger car)

And you are gonna want to train also, meaning Training/Exercise/Feedback Level costs an additional 180 € ~ 133,24 GBP.

Then there is the final stage, which is the Advanced Level, which is either (With your own car) 310 €/287.19 GBP +Training course payment of 80 €/58.91 GBP or (With the school´s car) 420 €/368.20 GBP + Training course payment of 80 €/58.91 GBP

Then there are additional costs:

51 €/37.56 GBP for driver´s license permit (to have a permission to drive a driver´s license ie: learners permit). This is the long time permit. Short time permit costs more. (60 €/44.18 GBP)

Exam payments:

Theory: 28 €/20 GBP (Slow theory exam costs 85 €/62.59 GBP)
Driving exam: 59 €/43.45 GBP

Finally you have the final payment of 24 €/17.67 GBP for the card itself.

You´ll also need two passport pics and a medical certificate. These are for the the driving permit/learners permit.

These are just for the basic card, which enables you to drive a normal automobile/passenger car. For truck card (C1) and stuff (A1/A2/A) you have different payments.

Note: this is just one of the driving schools, but the payments don´t vary much.

I bet you're one of those women who sings at the top of her voice on the way to work to Katy Perry blasting on the radio whilst rising above the moody male drivers?

Well I took about 10 lessons between Dec 2013 - Feb 2014 then I moved and I didn't start again until July this year so it was like learning all over again, plus guernseys roads are terrifying because they're so ****ing narrow, I've had maybe 14/15 over here

No, I never bothered to learn because I was adamant I was going to live in London and well now I live in London.
