Your Transport Stories

I used to travel to work on my bike, I was a trainee motor mechanic, all my brothers worked in the motor trade so it was natural for me when I left school to take an apprenticeship that was offered to me by a local garage.

It only took me about 30 minutes to ride my bike to work each day and I hadn't considered learning to drive until I had my appraisal at work, my boss informed me that if I wanted to continue working at the garage once my apprenticeship had finished I was going to need to have my driving license so that I could take cars out on test drives and also take turn with the other members of staff to do the roadside recovery service which we offered our clients.

The rest of my appraisal went extremely well and my boss told me that as I was an outstanding apprentice that the company would be prepared to pay a certain amount towards my driving lessons, all I had to do was find the a reasonably priced driving school with a good reputation and pass rate.

I went home that night and no sooner had I walked through the door, I was turning on the computer to look for driving schools, the first search I did was just for driving schools that was a big mistake as it pulled up a load of driving schools in America, I knew this as they all had the address as .com and not .co.uk, my mum told me that I should narrow my search down and in the address bar I was to type driving schools uk, I did as she said and of course she was right, the search just pulled up all the driving schools in the uk area and not the rest of the world like it had done when I did it.

One driving school stood out more than the rest it was actually called Best of the Best Driving Schools UK, I took this as a sign and clicked on the address Best of the Best Driving Schools UK.co.uk and it automatically took me to the driving schools web page. I read up on what the school had to offer and also read some reviews from past students who all had nothing bad to say about the school.

Best of the Best driving schools uk currently had a special offer on for new students, they were offering 20 lessons for the price of 15 if booked and paid for in advance, I decided that this was the school for me and hunted for a pen and paper to write down the address and details of the school for my boss so I could give it to him in the morning, next thing I had to do was apply for my provisional driving license, I didn't have a clue how to do that so that was my next search on the computer so that I could be a step closer to passing my driving test and securing my future in the job that I loved so much.
