Driving lessons and driving tests are overly priced, and the wait time is kind of ridiculous.
00:07
You know, get people on the road.
00:09
My nephew recently did his, and I think he waited for the test for a few months.
00:13
I think it needs a little bit of work to do for the department.
00:18
I know it's busy everywhere, and I don't blame them.
00:20
They are also busy, but something to look into.
00:24
I know people that have been waiting for driving lessons or getting their tests booked,
00:27
you know, for months.
00:28
I'm 25 now.
00:29
When I was a teenager, it was like £40 an hour.
00:33
Now you're looking at £70 to £80 an hour, and obviously I know that that comes from
00:37
a perspective of me coming from somewhere more rural in Wales.
00:41
So it's not going to be as much of a market, but I mean, it should be nationalised.
00:45
I think if you go to other countries, I lived in the Middle East, and that whole thing is
00:48
nationalised.
00:49
You don't get every Tom, Dick and Harry doing driver's lessons and charging an arm and a
00:53
leg just to get people through a door.
00:55
I think it should be something that's offered from the government and should be semi-affordable.
