Should I Do An Intensive Driving Course?
Intensive driving courses can be an effective way of passing your test in Leicester in a short amount of time. At Rapide Driving School we are experts in a tailoring a driving course to suit your needs, whether that be an intense course over a week or spreading it over a couple of weeks.
An important point to remember is that intensive driving courses require a lot of concentration in order to be successful. If you’re the sort of person who struggles to focus over an extended session, staggering your lessons over a period of months may suit you better. The best way to work out what would suit you best would be take a cheap driving assessment lesson with Rapide Driving School so that your they can assess your driving and give you an idea of how many lessons you will need.
How Much Are Rapide Driving Lessons?
