I've been learning to drive for about 7 months. My instructor charges less than bsm,aa etc but always turns up at least half an hour late. He also stops several times wach lesson to buy food , petrol etc. There have been times where he's turned up 3 hours late, other times he's turned up and said he cant take me on a lesson because he's "ill" (on this occasion he was 3 and a half hours late). On another occasion despite the fact I was in credit he asked me to book some more lessons because he didn't have any money for petrol. I felt sorry for him and obliged even though this made me overdrawn. Ive been doing 1.5 hours a week as thats all I can afford. He then told me to book my test for January. I booked my test for Feb as this was the earliest date available . He then said I will have to do at least 3 lessons a week to pass (it was him who suggested me booking the test in jan). I said I cant afford this and I would rather move my test forward and carry on as i have been doing. He then to,d me i must not move my test as the driving test is about to change and get much harder. I asked him when he said "just after your test". I've looked online and there is no mention of these changes. I've cancelled my test now (haven't had the nerve to tell him). He still owes me a few hours but i'm thinking of just getting rid of him and finding someone else even if this means paying a bit more. Ive also realised that I've been learning over 6 months and he has only taught me one of the four manoeuvres (which actually i taught myself by watching you tube videos). I don't know what to do for some reason I feel guilty for thinking about sacking him and also a bit scared he will see me taking lessons with another instructor
