AIBU to weep at the cost of driving lessons?

[pinkstinks]

forty seven pounds for two hours This is the average price around here. I got a groupon deal for four hours at a reduced rate, so had my first lot but then get told the next two hours at the reduced rate will be the two hours before my test? This was defintaly not made clear in the small print, I read that stuff like a hawk.
I have put off learning to drive, and should hae done it earlier but we always live in the city centre. I feel that it is a useful skill to have, but weekly lessons will be costing me two hundred pounds a month and this is scary.
AIBU to worry about the cost this much or should I just suck it up. Please tell me its worth it, even though I wont be able to afford to buy a car after let alone insure it.
Also I have no-one to take me out for private tuition to help, so can only rely on my lessons.

I agree that getting your license is good even if you then can't afford a car. I learnt at 17 despite my family not having a car, knowing I could drive if I had to, which has proved especially helpful when looking for jobs.

It's taken 13 years to get my own car and I was really nervous but a year later, I'm now driving all around town with DH/DD, and have even embarked on a few road trips (in DH's much more comfy car than mine!).

It was definitely worth getting my license. I've found that friends and family are happy to drive around with me while I practice (especially things like motorways and slip roads). I now have the freedom to run errands without DH and also to collect loads of stuff from FreeCycle .
