This will make learning and the entire process much easier. Ask your friends and neighbours for references and recommendations. If you still can’t make up your mind look into the yellow pages or surf the web. Type in “driving schools” and the suburb you live in. Make sure you know what you need from a driving school. Talk to some of the instructors and narrow it down considering who you felt most comfortable talking to. Feel free to compare prices, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. Don’t choose on the basis of price. Cheap, will usually mean just that, cheap. Expect an old car and no structured program. They will just drive you around in circles and not teach you anything in particular. If your chosen school fits into your budget and you feel comfortable with them book a lesson. Some driving schools have packages for bulk lessons or they can charge you by the hour. Do the maths and find out which one of the two suits you better. The next step is to meet with the instructor on a lesson. Once you meet them, you can gauge their teaching methods and style of working. Make sure you have the answers to a few questions-

• Does the driving school seem trustworthy?
• How much experience does the instructor have?
• Do you think you gel with the instructor?
• Do they have a structured driving program?
• Do they coach you for your driving test – including mock tests?
• Is the driving school certified?
• Can they work around your timings and schedule?
• Do they provide a pick up and drop off facility for lessons and the test?
• Make sure the school is insured and the instructor is qualified.
• If you are a parent make sure you look into the driving school your child has chosen. Don’t save money and compromise on the quality of the school. Make sure they are making the right decision.
• Even after you have chosen your driving school you are not comfortable with the instructor, you can always ask the proprietor if there is another instructor who can take you. You are going to be spending a lot of time in the car together.
