| Bonny's Driving School Reviews?
Hey there,
I am planning to enroll in Bonny's GLP, just wondering if there are any testimonials about their instructors and programs overall.
$600 for GLP package
$30/hour without package http://www.bonnydriving.com/
Not too shabby!

Lo those years ago when I had to get my FUCKING N because I was born 8 months to late (fuck you everyone born in '82 before March 22), it was only $800.
Inflation is nuts.

^wow how about tax? does it count as education? lol
1500 isn't too unreasonable, Maybe their classroom classes are much better now? no idea can't afford it wouldn't know... 1500.... thats more than a quarter of my car... no thanks! XD

GLP's aren't even worth it anymore, back in the day, I went L to N in 3 months, but I guess you get good lessons from it

Do I even need GLP classes? I have my L for quite some time now and I have been driving on and off for 2 - 3 years with an L license. I don't struggle when driving, the only problems I have are parallel parking, turns on curbs, and accelerating and breaking too often (ie. not smooth at driving). I feel like my driving confidence/performance is around 75% - 80%.

GLP lost its purpose a while back when they announce that both N & L can't drive anyone other than family members.
But OP, the easiest way to deal with the problem u have is to practice. Going to lessons is pointless if u dun practice.
Parallel park: Go on an empty side street on Sunday afternoon & just do it 20 million times. U'll eventually get the hang of it.
Turn on curbs: Just move out a little more than u'r used to.
Smooth driving: Get a friend to drive in front of u & u can just follow him around for an hour or so. U'll eventually get how ur car behaves.

Parents forced me to go Young Drivers, but since my family doesn't have a car, it was the only solution since I couldnt get lessons from family friends. Paid 1200, and it was a fuckin pain in the ass to get your scheduling. They said they'd take care of it, but I was left waiting 2 months in the dark, and had to call in myself, and even THEN I didn't get lessons until they started 2 weeks ago (I did the in-class part in APRIL).
I should have tried to find a better and cheaper instructor set...
