To teach my 3 sons to drive myself?

One is 19 next week, the other two are 17 in July. DH never passed his test and is actually a good driver if only he could pass his theory and get a driving test.

i am beyond fed up of taxi-ing now as you can imagine. We are rural and no buses although the station to London is a 6 min drive (1.5 h walk though).

is there any way of doing this that doesn’t involve at least three sets of driving lessons! They do have jobs but also study and they just wouldn’t afford all the lessons themselves.

I bought the cheapest level of car for insurance last year and it’s insured for the 18 year old, and I’ll insure it for the other two too.

anyone taught their kids themselves? Or got some lessons to start and then gone forwards themselves? I’m quite patient and we do get on well….

Your dh is also reliant on you for transport
and another non driver living rurally with very poor transport

I don’t get it!
