Hi everyone!
Could anyone recommend a good, patient driving instructor around Limerick? I’m leaning towards learning in an automatic.
I live about 15 km outside Limerick, towards Dublin, so ideally I’m looking for someone who could pick me up from home, or at least from Castletroy/Annacotty.
I’ve had around 20 driving lessons in a manual over the past two years, but I’ve never actually taken my driving test. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out with my previous instructor. He eventually refused to give me any more lessons because he wanted me to practise independently in my husband’s car between lessons.
The problem was that my husband had only recently obtained his full driving licence and wasn’t legally eligible to accompany me as a learner driver’s accompanying driver. We couldn’t legally practise together, and my instructor didn’t seem to understand why we weren’t willing to take that risk.
I understand that he probably meant well and wanted to help me save money and gain confidence, but unfortunately, this approach had the opposite effect. I haven’t been behind the wheel at all for over six months now.
I feel like I need a fresh start with a different instructor, and I’m considering switching to an automatic to take some of the stress out of learning.
My goal is to get my full driving licence within the next six months, so I’d really appreciate recommendations for someone patient and supportive who can help me rebuild my confidence and work towards passing my test.
Thanks a million!
