Default Anyone recommend me a driving school in edinburgh?

I gather these "automobiles" are harder to fall off I'm tempted ot just book up with one of the big mobs, but I thought I'd see if anyone has any recommendations. I live 50 metres from a driving centre so it should be pretty easy to find a school

i wouldnt like to think how much it must costs to pass your driving test now, a tenner for an hours lesson when i first went out, 15 quid for the provisional and 30 quid for the test!

Hi, my first post, been browsing a while.

Try a guy called Gavin Brownlee, he's taught my daughters and my daugter-in-law. A really patient guy that will get you through your test without dragging out things to make money. http://www.geebee-driving.co.uk/

Ah, well, y'see... I'd sooner that, when I mess it all up, it wasn't someone from the forum who was watching No offence.

Cheers lookskyward, I've dropped him an email.
