Could you teach Andy about the tv recording the show so that he could watch it when he got up in the morning? That way he could still watch it but not stay up until 11pm

The 5 day intensive course is VERY intensive. Cramming everything into less than a week is insane when you think about how much you have to learn for the practical AND theory. If you really want to go down that route there are a number of company’s that give free lessons if you fail first time. May be good to look into that.

I spent nearly 2 weeks revising for my theory alone so I don’t have a clue how they would manage to get it done in a week!

Good to see you are up and feeling better! And always a tough call with driving with our teens! Praying it works out for you guys that you can figure out how to make it fit in your budget. And I think 8pm bed time is totally normal. Jaiden is 12 and with his meds he goes to bed around 8-830 every single night. But he actually chooses to go to bed at that time. So to each their own though.

[@larissakuppusamy6397]

I did the intensive course 7 years ago now and it was the best thing I could have done. I didn’t want to have to fit all these different lessons in around school hours and part time job so I did my course in the October holidays. Started on the Monday and took my test on the Saturday. I failed but I got it booked for two weeks after and passed. I’m not sure if it’s the same for all intensive courses now but my days would be about 8 hours worth of driving with a split. So I could do 4 hours in the morning go home and eat then go back out again in the afternoon for another 4 hours. I also booked mine specifically with a female instructor as I thought I’d feel more comfortable with the longer hours then, so that’s also something to look at. I would definitely recommend doing it if you want to speed the process up, it can be tiring but it’s worth it in the end :)

[@FarazKhan55000]

Wait he wants to change his schedule so is this technically good?

[@beckysloan1377]

I hope Andy isn’t getting sick too. Where I live in the states public schools still provide drivers education. When I went they gave lessons through the summer break, but other schools offered it as an elective course. I can’t imagine having to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to learn to drive.

[@rebeccabowyer6582]

Hi Did a insevie course and went from nothing to pass in week.the difference is u don't have the break to forget anything. You also get really used to that car.

[@elenaking6499]

Have you thought about you taking Lucy out like every week or every other day? Then doing the intensive course with some knowledge so a higher possibility of passing?

[@deborahrzepela-auch3915]

Convo with Andy about 1100 is so funny. Watch his facial expressions. Teenager!

[@megsy7424]

I'm 19 and currently learning to drive. Tell Lucy that she doesn't necessarily need to drive just after her 17th. If she plans on attending university and wishes to live at home ( this is how I am currently able to afford my lessons.) she could use her money to support her lessons. But there is no rush whatsoever for driving. I wish her good luck tho

[@madpip121]

A good start is doing practise theory tests, you can find them easily online by googling it. The best I found were multiple choice apps for your phone then doing hazard perception online. For the actual lessons you can teach her to some extent for the basics of driving and parking as long as you have been driving three years and meet some other criteria (also on google) empty car parks are the best place for this! I spent just over £1500 probably to pass my test (including all tests) some driving instructors offer bulk booking at a discount rate, this is what I did. Good luck!!

[@haydengoffey5039]

[@saraquill6111]

I think it depends on Lucy herself and her personality, whether the intensive course will work for her or not. If there's a chance she inherited some traits from the spectrum, like getting overwhelmed from sensory stimuli, or having problems processing information, or a dislike for groups, or getting stressed from social situations, then it would be wiser to have the one on one teaching and to give her the time to proces the information and by spreading the lessons out over a few months. If she doesn't have any of those issues, it might actually be a beneficial choice for her. Since she's young and in college and she has basically been in the schoolsystem her entire life, the learning in a group and learning from peers thing may actually be familiar to her, and the cramping up a lot of information in a short period of time, might be how she's learning and taking in information right now. So it might be that the intensive course feels actually more natural to her because she's used to learning and processing information in that setting and in that pace. Also who doesn't like mexican fajita's?? They're delicious!

[@jodiegallagher564]

My Brother did it and passed first time, where as my cousin did it a few hours a week for six or seven months and it took her 4 tries to pass.

[@navygirl54]

it will depend on how fast she learns. If she is a quick/ fast learner then the intensive may work but if she needs time it won't. Is there any chance you can take her to a place with no cars and teach basic to help her out.

[@jess_6341]

Currently learning to drive and although I haven't done an intensive course I do believe that it all depends on the way her brain works if that makes any sense. Does she pick up on things quickly usually and how does she cope under pressure because those are the two things I believe that make a difference with an intensive course. Have spend at least £2000 so far on lessons, pray I pass soon!

[@sophielouise5414]

I do my driving lessons, I work part time and they cost me £27 an hour lesson. I also have learners insurance on my mums car which my parents pay for me luckily. I buy them in bulk of 10 lessons and my instructor gives me 2 free extra. I wouldn’t recommend doing the 5 day intensive course, I looked into it myself and almost considered it. Doing 2 hours a week of lessons is stressful for me, never mind doing an intensive 5 day course! I would keep looking at going with lessons, I’m sure you can find a more reasonable price.

[@jenniferhaly9764]

The 5 day course is very intensive but I’d say to do it, my best friend did it and she says now she’d do it again if she had to learn all over again, she didn’t pass first time but because she wasn’t wasting time recapping the previous lesson in the next one (because they were just one after another) it gets you up to pass standard much faster, even if you don’t pass first time you need much fewer ‘recap’ lessons to pass than you would if you were only doing one or two lessons a week. Some companies who do it and you don’t pass will offer you free lessons until you do pass anyway, so I’d say the intensive course, if you’ve got the time and the initial larger cost, will probably be much better!

[@itsjustholly2993]

You are allowed to learn Lucy to drive yourself if you have been driving over 3 years. That may save some money. My boyfriends grandad has been teaching him & he's booked his theory and will only need 1 lesson from a driving instructor just to make sure he knows what he's doing.

[@skyispink1826]

Holly Clark I don’t recommend this advice. The test is strict. It’s less about ‘knowing how’ to drive but more about driving legally and safely. The test is designed to catch you out. An instructor knows best on helping you pass. When you’ve been driving for as long as Kev has, you’ll have picked up bad habits and you risk passing those on.

[@mattrogers2747]

I learnt by having 2 or 3 lessons a week of 2 hours. It cost me £250 for 10 hours and ended up having roughly 40 hours. I think it ended up costing me £1100 for everything included theory and stuff. I passed in 4 months ish. Passed first time though but if you can get blocked lessons and Lucy can do a few lessons a week then it’s really worth it! Much better than intensive I think

[@T1000Iris]

Wow, thats expensive. We paid $365 for our daughter to take a 4 month drivers ed course. All instructors are retired police officers and they practice driving at night, on highways, and in the community. Also mandatory class instruction afterwards for a total of 2 1/2 hrs.

[@jklaak1321]

I am a driving Instructor and would not recommend an intensive course. For example if a pupil has a weakness, say roundabouts, the course does not cater for a prolonged time on roundabouts. I live in Sussex and would if I could do it for the publicity. I'm sure there would be a local examiner willing to do a normal course of lessons pre paid for under a grand I know I would and I'm sure its dearer per hour down here. By all means contact me and will be glad to help. i can't swear but think that they may also piggyback lessons.

[@Alice-oe6lj]

Although I've not even started driving yet (first lesson is next month!), my thoughts on intensive driving courses aren't all that positive. In my mind, you don't get that experience and getting used to driving on the road where you would through weekly/several times a week driving lessons, but as I said I haven't done that and wouldn't actually know! But where on earth are you getting quotes from that are £40-50?? The place I'm learning from is £28 per lesson and that's airing in the more expensive side for where I live. Hope you find something that works for Lucy. Also random question, will Lucy pay for her car or is that a hurdle you've not even tried to jump yet haha.

I took driving lessons for a month and then had to stop because I couldn't afford anymore and uni got in the way. I did though manage to get my dads old car which I practiced on and off in for a year. Then after graduating, I bought a 'intensive driving course' but mine was over 3 weeks. About 3 full days a week. I passed with 0 faults. Personally I think I did so well because I'd driving a lot with my dad in the car and even though I picked up bad habits, I was confident on the road and with physically driving the car. (Like gear changes and knowing how to control the car) A week, isn't long and I don't think I could of done it in a week. Seems too rushed. Maybe see if they do it like my driving instructor did, which was spread it over 3 weeks? Driving is tiring too. My foot (and my brain) was killing when I was doing the 5 hour lessons. Good luck!

I think with Andy it is your call based on whether he is getting enough sleep to keep him happy and healthy. If he is getting more than he needs it might not be a bad idea to push it back a little, although due to his variable wake up times especially in summer I would still keep it fairly early 👍🏻

[@siddkumar8032]

@louis Faucompre i dont think so. You need to take into consideration Andy is not like everyone else. He is 15 by age but needs treatment and attention of a 10 year old due to his autistic behaviour. Sleeping early is good for him for now. We arent far from giving him more freedom and flexibility but its too early for that now

[@siddkumar8032]

@louis Faucompre I am sure there is a reason why they insist him to sleep at 8 and wake up at 4. Maybe it takes him time in the morning to get ready. I can see where you are coming from now but if 4am is a problem for Anna then I am sure she will change the sleep cycle for Andy.

[@imaginaryenemy2565]

@@siddkumar8032 it doesn't matter how early or late they get him to bed he gets up when the sun is up unless he's feeling sick which is why they have his bed time at 8 now because at least he's getting 8 hrs at night to push it back that means he'll get less sleep which means he'll be exhausted in the mornings and then he'll start refusing school again it's a delicate and complicated balance

I’m 17 and I’m just around the corner from taking my practical test, I’ve been learning since August doing 2 hours of lessons a week, at the rate of £240 for 10 hours. I personally would probably avoid the intensive course as I’ve spent around £1000 on lessons so far (obviously this would be different for other people) in the 5 months I’ve been learning for, so in my case it has been cheaper to do weekly lessons. I’ve found it relatively easy to pay for my lessons, earning around £300 p/ month. All the best 👍

[@pacemarshall9358]

How does getting a license in the UK work? In America you don't have to take classes, and you pass a written test to get your permit. Then your parents (or anyone over the age of 21) can teach you how to drive. You can take driving classes if you want, and pay extra for classes and/or private lessons, but as you know they are quite expensive. So it is very common to not take classes here, but to teach your kids how to drive to save money. Is that an option? I don't know at all how it works across the pond. Sorry about that!

[@sianypops2012]

At 17 you can apply for a learners permit license. You must then take around 100 hours of lessons or an intensive 5 day (50 hour) course before being eligible to take the practical test. Before you take that test you must take the written and hazard perception test.

[@decoydreams456]

My driving lessons cost £25 an hour, not sure why your getting quotes as high as £40/50. The instructor makes a big difference in the number of hours necessary, find a good instructor. I had traditional hour long lessons most weeks and then passed first time, but can see the appeal of an intensive course. My view on them is that you won't get the required road experience needed to be a competent driver even if you pass the test first time. However as I haven't done an intensive course there is no evidence behind my opinion. However I would suggest (if your comfortable with doing it) getting some learner driver insurance for Lucy to drive your car. I had standalone insurance that insured me as a learner driver separately to the policy associated with the car but depending on your insurance policy she could be added as a second driver instead. There is no point paying for lessons to learn how to pull away or change gear. And after that point road time is essential to becoming fluent.

If andy claims any benifits, ie disability (people with autism are entitled to financial help), if you name her as a carer, not only will she get £65 a time but she will get discount on driving lessons. Because it will help andy out. When she has her license she will no doubt take him out and about, or drive to grab his perscriptions if you cant one day, so why not use the services on offer? Ring his benifit people they'll help. But if she decides to do the block lessons and then test she will get money towards that too. Defo something to check out. Hope this helps xx
