However many people looking for driving schools in Bedford or driving instructors in Bedford still get drawn to these catchy graphics on driving school cars.

Here is a little look at EXACTLY what you could well be paying as a student & they probably aren’t so attractive after all…..

The DSA says the average number of hours to pass a driving test is 67 hours. So after the first 5 hours an average learner will need another 62 hours of driving lessons (if they don’t have access to a car to practise in).

A national driving school offers ‘5 hours for £56′. This is broken down into the first hour being free of charge & the next 4 hours costing £14 per hour.

But after these the cost INCREASES MASSIVELY to £21.95 per hour!!

That is a 57% PRICE RISE!!

So at £21.95 per hour, a further 62 hours will cost £1360.90!!!! On top of this there is your initial 5 hours at £56.

So in total the 67 hours of driving lessons in Bedford would cost you £1415.90!!!!!

The local driving school which advertises ‘5 for £55′ again sounds like a cheap way to learn to drive.

But after your first 5 hours they then HUGELY INCREASE their prices to £21.50 per hour!!

This is a a WHOPPING 95% price increase on their advertised rate (seen on their cars)!!

So again after the 5 hours, an average learner would require another 62 hours of driving lessons in Bedford at a cost of £1333.00!!

On top of this is the original £55 paid out giving a grand total of £1388.00!!

Compare these 2 examples of a LOCAL driving school & a NATIONAL driving school to Txt-Drive.

Txt-Drive offers a simple Buy One Hour, Get One Hour FREE on the first lesson – giving you 2 hours of driving lessons in Bedford for just £12 per hour.

After this, if you block book 10 x 2 hour driving lessons (the cheapest way of booking driving lessons) then you would pay JUST £20 per hour!

So for 67 hours of driving lessons in Bedford with Txt-Drive Driving School it would ONLY cost you £1334.00!!

Txt-Drive therefore could save you £54 compared to the local driving school & £81.90 compared to the national driving school.

(Txt-Drive could be even CHEAPER if you book a driving lesson for your 17th Birthday*). PLUS you can earn ONE HOUR FREE for each friend you introduce to Txt-Drive*.
*Terms & Conditions apply – please see www.txt-drive.co.uk

Txt-Drive uses a BMW MINI with He-Man dual controls, air conditioning, fully adjustable sterring wheerl, fully adjustable seats, gear change indicator, blind spot mirrors plus many more features.

If you answer YES to any of the above then you may wish to have some Txt-Drive Motorway Tuition. You will be taken on a motoway – when you are ready – with a fully qualified driving instructor, in a dual controlled car. This means the driving instructor can control the pedals from the passenger side of the car. The car you would drive is the BMW MINI which has fully adjustable seats & steering wheel – making it suitable for people of all heights & sizes.

By taking some refresher driving lessons on a motorway with Txt-Drive, you will become confident in driving by yourself & will develop the necessary skills to drive safely on the motorway. This could really change your life & open up lots of new possibilities.

Txt-Drive is currently teaching a lady that has been driving for many years but lacks the confidence to drive on the motorway by herself and she does not like having to use slip roads or overtaking on the dual carriageway. Her Txt-Drive driving instructor is slowly helping her to become confident in dealing with slip roads on the dual carriageway. She is also working on overtaking other drivers safely which will help her gain the confidence to be able to tackle motorway driving in the near future.

To book motorway lessons or refresher driving lessons with Txt-Drive please call Txt-Drive on 0800 8600 983 (FREEPHONE) or visit www.txt-drive.co.uk for more information.

It seems likely that the other driving school regularly visits & takes tips from the Txt-Drive website. Keeping the same sentance & changing one or 2 words isn’t enough to hide the fact the content has been taken from the Txt-Drive website.

I guess Txt-Drive should be flattered that another driving school is using the Txt-Drive content….

If you want a respectable driving school, offering value for money & a fully qualified driving instructor then call Txt-Drive Driving School in Bedford on 0800 8600 983 (FREEPHONE) or visit www.txt-drive.co.uk or text DRIVE to 80039.

The news may come as a surprise to many of her Little Monsters, especially considering she shared her body with a motorcycle on the cover of ‘Born This Way.’ However, she grew up in NYC, so she likely never needed to drive anywhere before hitting it big — she could walk, hail a cab or hop on the subway.

Gaga announced the news on Facebook, writing, “Maybe while I’m learning to drive you don’t need to sneak up on me and stick your GIANT camera IN A MOVING VEHICLE.” We can only imagine how tough it can be to drive with so many flashbulbs in your face when you already know how, but can you imagine that going in driver’s ed? That’s so dangerous!

Another potential obstacle to Gaga’s vision may be her veils, but we think she’s smart enough to remove them while she’s behind the wheel. Based on how much photogs hound her, it sounds like her extensive sunglasses collection will come in handy while she learns the rules of the road!

From : Popcrush.com

If Lady Gaga had contacted Txt-Drive Driving School in Bedford on 0800 8600 983 (FREEPHONE) or via the website www.txt-drive.co.uk then she could have taken her first 2 hours of driving lessons for just £25.00!!! That’s just £12.50 per hour or UNDER $20.00 per hour!!!!

Lady Gaga could have learnt to drive in the BMW MINI complete with Txt-Drive Driving School graphics. She could be safe in the knowledge that her driving instructor would be fully qualified too.

Lady Gaga may have even wanted to recommend some of her popstar friends – maybe Beyonce – to learn to drive with Txt-Drive in Bedford. After her friends had taken five two hour lessons Lady Gaga herself would have been entitled to a FREE hour. Gaga’s friend would also get a FREE one hour driving lesson too!!!!

Unfortunately it seems Laday Gaga missed out on all this……

Beatrice Mawamba, 34, panicked and careered down a narrow alleyway into a grassed courtyard while taking a lesson with her husband, Leeds Crown Court heard.

The court was told Mawamba, a mother of three who had not driven a car before, crushed to death nine-year-old Shamirah Grant and injured two other girls, one seriously.

Prosecuting, Michael Smith said: “The children describe playing in the early evening and saw a man and woman in a green Vauxhall car.

“The man was giving some sort of instruction to the woman. The children heard the engine revving and saw it stutter and come flying down towards them fast.”

The vehicle was earlier described as “bunny hopping” before Mawamba lost control and veered dangerously out of control, down the steps of a narrow alleyway and on to the grassed children’s play area near Leopold Grove in the Chapeltown area of Leeds.

“The defendant described the car going very fast and her husband telling her to brake but she did not know how to. Her husband also tried to stop the car but couldn’t.

“When challenged by the police she was unable to say which pedal was the brake,” Mr Smith added.

Sentencing, Mr Justice Openshaw said Mawamba was “profoundly ignorant” of the most basic driving skills, adding that setting off to drive when “so lacking the most basic driving skills” amounted to a “thoughtless disregard for the safety of others”.

“In my judgment a prison sentence is necessary to impress upon others that driving a car without having any idea how to control it is seriously anti-social and presents a substantial risk to the public and such behaviour must strongly be discouraged.”

Graham Parkin, for Mawamba who admitted causing death by dangerous driving in May this year, said his client was remorseful and remained “extremely distressed” by the tragedy.

“She wishes, of course, she could turn back the clock and that it never happened,” he added.

The victim’s parents, Gary and Jennifer Grant, issued a statement following today’s sentencing.

It said: “As the parents of Shamirah Grant, we have forgiven those present in the vehicle which veered dangerously out of control… unfortunately killing our daughter and injuring two of her friends.

“We appreciate that such a terrible event was not intentional… Nevertheless, Shamirah’s death has left a heart-rending gap within our family’s lives.”

Txt-Drive Driving School uses FULLY QUALIFIED driving instructors (approved by the DSA) & the driving instructors use the BMW MINI which is fitted with He-Man Dual Controls. The dual controls are for the safety of the learner driver, the driving instructor & any other road users. Should the learner driving get into any difficulty when driving the driving instructor can use the dual controls to apply the footbrake & bring the car safely under control.

Driving instructors are aware of typical errors which learner drivers may make & can tailor driving lessons to suit each learner driver.

Txt Drive sponsor Bedford Hockey Club’s new U18’s girls academy

Bedford driving school Txt Drive was this weekend unveiled as the new Bedford Hockey Club girls under 18’s main sponsor in a match which they lost against Havering in the England Hockey Under 18’s plate competition.

The academy is a new project for the club this year hoping to smooth the transition between junior and senior hockey at the club and attract more girls to play out of the school environment as well as speeding up the pathway for talented players to progress through the ladies team at the club up to the first team. Under 18’s captain Maya Thrasher is one example of this pathway in action as she is already a key member of the first team squad. 

Over 20 girls train on a weekly basis at Bedford as part of the squad which is overseen by BHC ladies 1s coach Steve Harvey with the sessions delivered by Luke Whatling, a prospective level 2 coach, with the focus being on building up core skills and technical and tactical knowledge.

Chris Deverell, owner of Txt Drive said “It’s great to be able to support the development of young hockey players at Bedford. I think the Txt Drive playing shirts look great and I wish all the girls the best with their hockey this season”.

As part of the partnership Txt Drive has also become the official player sponsor to Ladies 1^st team player Jenna Maclaren. Unfortunately 18 year old defender Jenna is not eligible to play for the u18’s anymore but Chris has offered to help Jenna to learn to drive as she currently commutes to hockey training on public transport from Luton. Jenna is looking forward to getting behind the wheel “We are all grateful to Chris for supporting the younger players at the club and I am looking forward to my driving lessons with him. Once I have passed my test it will be easier for me to attend training and fitness sessions and that in turn will take my game to the next level”

For more information about Txt Drive visit the website www.txt-drive.co.uk or follow Chris on twitter @TxtDrive , alternatively for more information about the BHC girls academy visit www.bedfordhockeyclub.com or ring Kate Costin on 07513 025712.
