I even had to pay £1, 2s, 6d / hr for my own lessons!
I was lucky in that respect Ron, my dad taught me to drive as he was an advanced police driving instructor, luckily I passed at first go :D

My old boy said he sometimes drove while in the Army on active service (WW2) but he never ever drove post war.

So I just had to pay up!

Fortunately my 10 lessons and pass first time was just affordable as an apprentice in those days of 1965/66

Genius: an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity:

Ignoring the first part obviously; I have a few ideas of areas in which you might just have an exceptional skill. :poke: :roll:

Direct Line wanted £620 from me, up from £387 last year.

A quick rummage around on Compare The Market got me insured with General Accident for £460. Simples!
