Bill Plant Tackles High Costs of Driving!
Bill Plant Ltd
Radio 1’s Newsbeat has had quite a lot to say about driving schools over the last couple of weeks.
First, the programme ran a story about the push to have only approved driving instructors take students out on the roads; today, the headlines are about a 19% decline in young learners since 2005 – the result of the higher costs of learning to drive and then running a car.
We’re pleased we’re a little ahead of the game on both counts at the Bill Plant School of Motoring.
For example, the company has announced just last month that it will only be recruiting ADIs in future, asking the company’s existing probationary instructors to step up to the mark and complete their training as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, lessons with a Bill Plant instructor remain among the most competitively priced in the UK - a policy which has helped us grow since 1993 to become the UK’s third largest driving school with a reputation for going that extra mile.
We think five lessons for £56 is pretty fair but we don’t just offer cost-effective training that will help you shed your L plates as soon as possible. Our website includes free hazard perception training, free online theory test, tips on learning the highway code and how to prepare for your test, enhancing your chances of cutting your costs by passing first time.
However, we’re committed to road safety and the long game and we hope students who pass their test with us will be back for coaching in how to cope with bad weather such as ice, snow and fog. After all, the quicker you persuade your insurer you’re safe on the roads, the quicker your insurance premiums will fall.
We can also teach even experienced motorists how to drive economically; we can’t do much about the cost of petrol and diesel, but the less you use the better – both in economical and environmental terms.
If you can’t afford a new car, you could always try our online road safety competition. Answer one simple question and you’re in with a chance of following in the footsteps of 17-year-old waitress Gemma Bellfield from Milton Keynes, who won a brand new Hyundai i30 in our draw in June.
In summary, Newsbeat’s story on the decline in young drivers is no surprise in the current economic climate – but, before you give up and resign yourself to endless commutes on the bus and the train, give us a call. We’d love to help if we can.
