In an effort to attract more business, driving schools are offering a variety of special deals. While people do look forward to saving a buck if they can, the reality of such offers first needs to be looked into, before rushing to take advantage of it. Whenever any item are offered on cheap terms, there are sure to be a few terms and conditions, which must be checked.
Driving schools offering lesson deals more often get flooded with students. Because of the large number of students flocking to learn when one car is taken out for teaching, about 4 to 5 students will be in the car awaiting their turn at the wheel. In that limited learning period, such students hardly get enough time to absorb all the required instructions. In addition, students often spend a good bit of the driving class learning theory instead of undergoing practical driving. Offering driving lesson deals, save on expenses, by using less fuel and saving the cars from the normal wear and tear.
Students who do not get enough practical driving experience on the roads would take a longer time to reach and pass the official test. So joining a driving school where you will spend more time than the advertised course, defeats the purpose. If you had joined a regular school, you would probably have mastered driving in the scheduled time and spent the same amount of money.Offered by driving schools are also in all probability a one-time offer. If you have taken advantage of the special deal and if you want to continue learning with the same school, you will have to cough up the normal charge for learning. Some driving schools have a rule that the special fees you pay, covers about 10 hours of driving out of which 7 hours are allocated for practicing and 3 hours are kept aside to tie you to the school till the test is fixed. Under this rule, if during the first 7 hours you are not happy with the service you are stuck with that particular school otherwise you will miss your initial payment.
It is human nature to look for good bargains and feel you have saved money. As far as learning to drive is concerned this may not be the best decision. As explained above, there are many ways where by paying less you end up being a loser on time and opportunity. So instead of going in for the much publicized lesson deals choose a driving school, which has a good reputation and if possible, testimonials and recommendations. Otherwise, by paying less you end up getting less.
