Hi guys, sincere apologies for the late reply.
Thanks for the replies Kareeser and Freakitchen, very helpful, I appreciate it
. I'm currently doing practice theory tests and hazard perception demos on webpages when I get the time, I'm going to keep at them until I can get straight passes on each first attempt. I know all my signs like the back of my hand now and rules of the road is very much common sense, so that's clear.
I'm pretty sure of all the controls in a car, I remember my uncle taking me out during a holiday and he put me in charge of switching gears lol now I just need to get started on the road markings, even though road markings may not be that important but I think it'll be a bonus during the lessons.
As far as cost goes, I got a phone call from my Dad while I was at school and he told me that my Grandparents may well cover the first 10 lessons for me because that's what they did with my older brother. If I remember correctly, 10 lessons was all he actually needed. I'm pretty confident in myself so hopefully all will go well.
After thinking about it, I'm not sure whether I can book the theory and lessons this year, next year looks a little more safer in respect of costs, but I'll see what happens.
Once again, thanks for your replies guys!
