Title: PCV driving schools
Post by: Matt on January 06, 2015, 06:42:50 PM
I know it's tempting providence asking this before passing my car test, but can anyone recommend (or advise against, without libel or unfair comments) any private companies to take practical PCV driving lessons with?

Top Gear of Mucklow Hill is one I'm looking at due to their close proximity to my home.

The one I passed with packed up a long time ago so I cannot help!

Top Gear Mucklow Hill. Best out there. Decent prices, excellent staff, excellent vehicles. Many close friends has used them over the years.

I'd avoid CTT personally, bad issues in the past when a relation went for HGV training.

Stick with Top Gear, Matt. You can't go wrong. The only possible issue could be the Featherstone test center has their test routes can be a bit... Tedious/Tight/Riddled with roundabouts & Traffic lights... (Wolverhampton haha)
