Any recommendations for instructors/schools in Aberdeen that do refresher courses/lessons?


The GF has got a new job which involves driving a pool car between two locations in town.

She's got a license - problem is she hasn't been at the wheel for 7 years since she passed her test.

I could stick her on my insurance, but would probably be best to get professional tuition first. Plus learning to drive again in a 260odd bhp very turbo boosted car is probably a recipe for brown trousers.

Try Ross at http://learnrs.co.uk/ has a strong focus on people who have already passed their test.

Shameless bump.

Also are there any quiet, open areas that would be good for a learner to practice on in Aberdeen? I'm sure any side street would do, but would prefer something with no cars (parked or otherwise) to worry about.

Quite a few learners use the roads around the AECC in the evenings. Big loop about a mile long and virtually no traffic or parked cars. Plenty of junctions and car parks for 3 point turns, reversing etc.

Annoyingly she just opened a phonebook and booked with the first one on the list (Red driving school I think?), just a couple of hours tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.


How clear is the park and ride car park by Kingswells? Is it full of construction vehicles?
