To be honest, the whole system has become totally daft.
It actually encourages youngsters to drive with no insurance as the cost is totally astronomic and quite unaffordable. As a result, this situation won't benefit anyone who uses the roads.
For the average youngster who doesn't have some sort of financial support from his /her parents,well, they simply don't stand a chance with these sorts of prices.
To add to it all, most driving schools nowadays seem to want to get at least 40 lessons out of you. Priced at between £20 - £25 per hour, the whole thing seems to have become a total rip off.
