Driving lessons

So i started driving lessons in 2017, fast forward to 2019 I had my first test and failed, I had 3 more tests last year and failed, obviously then the pandemic hit and I haven't been able to have any lessons, I have a test booked in sept but now my instructor cant fit me in and i cant find another instructor as all fully booked. I am just at my wits end with what to do - I obviously don't want it all to go to waste but I cant find an instructor!

Post on your local Facebook page for driving instructor recommendations. My DD started lessons last year just after the lockdown and passed before Christmas.

Ask everyone around you if they know of any availability is your only option.

You are very late unfortunately, most instructors are fully booked and don't accept to add names on their waiting list. They have an enormous backlog due to the lockdown, and summer is always busy when kids are off school anyway.

If you can take a week off work in September, it might be worth asking instructors if they could offer an intensive course then?

If you can, trying to reschedule the test would be the best option.

Do you not have any family members that would insure you on their car with a provisional and let you practice with them?

I found an instructor thanks for all your messages.
