Crash courses to learn to drive - Mapmaker

I'm sure that when I was young, 'crash' courses to learn to drive in a week with a test at the end were quite common. Google hasn't found me anything. Driving tests seem to have a five-month lead time anyway.

Is it really this bad?

I'd a vague recollection that the really short ones were banned but it may be my memory playing tricks.

You're memory playing tricks, Brompt. There is no legal requirement to take any driving lessons at all, or even to have driven a car before the day of your test.

In my time I did intensive courses from time to time, lucrative but I never really liked them. People with a high work ethic tend to thrive on them, otherwise they are a waste of time. The local Job Centre used to sometimes pay for a course of lessons for teenagers who had been unemployed for six months in order to help them find work. I refused to take any in the end, despite being paid a fair bit more than I normally charged. I soon understood why the people put forward had been out of work for so long, their attention spans lasted twenty minutes at best.

Thanks, CGN. The problem is that I don't think they exist. The Trustpilot reviews are soooooo bad for all of the ones Google brings up:

uk.trustpilot.com/review/my5day.com?stars=1

The 5 star reviews are all written by people who have only done one - or maybe two - reviews.
