Driving Lessons in Bourne.
You've taken your driving lessons, you've passed your test, but then you realise that you simply can't afford to drive. Might be the cost of the car, cost to maintain it, tax it, insure it, cost of petrol even. So you then just sit back and don't drive.... waiting for a time when you can afford it. If this sounds familiar to you, then you appear to be not alone.
I've recently heard of two such cases, where people who learnt to drive with me have not driven since the driving test - for one of them, it's now been over 2 years. It's sad to hear this; for most, it is quite some achievement to pass the driving test, and once you've done that hard work, it seems only right you experience the benefits.
In terms of insurance, it certainly wont do you any harm to be able to say you have had your driving licence for 2 or 3 years, but that is not the same as saying you have 2-3 years of accident free driving experience. But my concern would be the practicalities of getting behind the wheel again, having had such a long gap from when you passed your driving test.
I'm very happy to offer free 'refresher' training to the people who learnt and passed with me, as a token of thanks for their business, but I would urge any others to not ignore this potential problem. If you were to start driving after a lengthy gap, and were unfortunate enough to get into an accident, then your insurance premiums are very likely to rocket anyway - so putting the risk of injury to you or others aside, it would be sensible just from a financial point of view to get yourself some refresher training.
