Following some technical issues with the Txt-Drive Blog – it is now up & running again!!
This now means that the latest bunch of pupils to pass their driving tests in Bedford with Txt-Drive Driving School can be named on the Txt-Drive Blog (which can be found here : www.txt-drive.co.uk/blog).
This week has been REALLY REALLY busy with 80% of Txt-Drive pupils that sat their driving tests actually passing!!
There may well be a NEW Txt-Drive record for the ‘fastest learner’ who passed their driving test in Bedford FIRST TIME with JUST 2 minors in JUST 8 HOURS of driving lessons with Txt-Drive (this is not confirmed yet!). His name is Brad & his twin brother passed his driving test in Bedford with Txt-Drive just days earlier. So DOUBLE celebrations all round!!!
Another 2 pupils that attend (well one just left the Upper Sixth Form in the Summer) Sharnbrook Upper School also passed their driving test FIRST TIME with Txt-Drive. This makes Sharnbrook Upper School pupils have an 89% FIRST TIME PASS RATE with Txt-Drive Driving School….. pretty good!!

A Txt-Drive pupil recently pointed out driving instructors from other driving schools in Bedford (one was a local driving school & the other was a national driving school – both offering 5 hours for £55/£56).
The Txt-Drive pupil then asked what the driving instructor did when they wanted a cigarette. As a non-smoker, I didn’t really know – but me & my pupil said by the looks of things at the time the pupil learning to drive had to wait in the car while the driving instructor had a smoke!! My pupil then said she wouldn’t like it if she was paying for a driving lesson & then the driving instructor took a couple of smoking breaks during the lesson to have a puff. She said even if the time was added on at the end of the lesson – it would be very inconveinient to keep stopping during a lesson for the driving instructor to have a cigarette. My pupil then went on to explain how the car would stink of smoke once the driving instructor got back into the car.
To be perfectly honest I had never really thought about this!! This could mean that pupils learning to drive with a smoking driving instructor may miss out on roughly 5-20 minutes per lesson (depending on how long the lesson was). This is VALUABLE driving time which pupil’s are PAYING FOR!!! Even if it’s just 5 minutes an hour lost over a period of 47 or 67 hours (average time taken to learn to drive with private practice & without private practice according to figures released by the DSA) a paying customer could lose nearly 4 HOURS of driving time & upto nearly 6 HOURS of practice!!!
Therefore if you learn with a driving instructor that smokes & they take smoking breaks during your lesson (& don’t add on the extra time at the end) you could be losing out on roughly £84 – £126 (based on £21 per hour prices) of driving tuition!!! You will then more than likely have to pay this extra to get up to the required driving standard to pass your driving test.
Even driving schools in Bedford which have very attractive introductory prices such as 5 lessons for £55 of 4 hours for £40 etc only need to waste 5 minutes a lesson & over the course of learning to drive you will end up having to pay a large sum of money! What seemed like a good offer at the start may ending up costing more money than you expected!!!
Txt-Drive don’t need to have catchy offers as we have a great reputation for getting people through their driving test quickly whilst making them safe drivers for life & charging a competitive price!!
Txt-Drive driving instructors in Bedford DO NOT smoke & DO NOT take breaks during YOUR driving lessons!! If any problems arise during your lesson then time WILL be added on at the end of your lesson or at a conveinient time for you.

A massive thank you to both the Bedford driving schools which stole content from Txt-Drive’s website.
At least Txt-Drive knows that the two (not ONE) dishonest driving schools in Bedford read the Txt-Drive Blog!!
Txt-Drive hopes both of the dishonest driving schools which stole content from Txt-Drive’s website are busy. Maybe the two driving schools that stole content from Txt-Drive could advertise that fact & put a big banner on their homepage saying ‘We steal content from Txt-Drive!!’ – somehow I don’t think they would do that!!
With Txt-Drive you know you are getting an honest, trustworthy, local driving instructor at a competitive price!!
Txt-Drive probably isn’t the cheapest driving school out there but we aren’t the most expensive!! You get what you pay for – we don’t cut corners by using cheap parts in our car – we don’t even use cheap cars!! We use BMW Minis!! Call Txt-Drive if you want to try & pass your driving test quickly!! FREEPHONE 0800 8600 983

An update on the other Bedford driving school which has stolen the content from the Txt-Drive website.
Txt-Drive had to request that the stolent content be removed from the Bedford driving school’s website (we won’t name the driving school or the website at this moment – to save embarassing them!). A small number of changes were made to the website which was using the stolen Txt-Drive content. However there is still a further 8 sections of text which has been taken from the Txt-Drive website.
Txt-Drive is hoping that the website which has used the stolen content swiftly removes it to prevent further action being taken. Txt-Drive has put alot of time & effort into creating a successful website. I’m sure this other driving school would not steal a Txt-Drive car so why has it stolen the content from the website?
Hopefully this matter can be quickly resolved by the stolen content being removed & it’s own unique content being put on their website.

After doing a short amount of research online, another Bedford driving school has been found to be using content which has been stolen from www.txt-drive.co.uk without permission.
Certain logos featured on the other driving school’s website (won’t embarass them by naming the driving school…..) have been taken directly from the Txt-Drive website.
In particular, one logo was edited in a way which placed it on a black background – the logo was sourced directly from the DSA & then edited for the Txt-Drive website. These edits would probably not be visible to owner or designer of their website but they are visible to Txt-Drive!! The unnamed website, of the other driving school, strangely uses the same black background logos – for their navy blue website! Same size logos too….
Also pretty sure they are clearly lying about being a member of an association when they aren’t.
Oh well – we shall see what happens!!
At least with Txt-Drive driving school you are sure of honesty, original content & quality driving lessons!! Call Txt-Drive on 0800 8600 983 (FREEPHONE).
