Seven Benefits of learning to drive

Are you thinking about learning to Drive? Here are a few of the benefits of learning to drive & passing your test...

1. A Lifelong Skill...Driving is like learning to ride a bike – it’s a skill you never forget. Obviously a car is a little more complicated to handle, but once you have that license it’s yours.

2. Independence...Fed up of relying on Mum & Dads taxi? Passing your test means you can just get in your car and go out when you want to go out and not wait for your parents to take you when their ready.

3. Save Time...Get to Aberystwyth in 45 minutes rather than an hour and a quarter on the bus!

4. Better Employment Opportunities...Many employers require qualified drivers when hiring staff, so your job prospects will be increased significantly. Not only that, but once you've passed your test, you'll be able to apply for jobs in more locations - not just the ones you can get to by public transport.

5. Easier Shopping...Having passed your test, you'll no longer have to do your weekly shopping at stores you can get to on foot or by bus. Not only that, but you won't have to carry all that heavy shopping back!

6. Dating...If you're dating and want to be able to pick your date up rather than having to meet them places, learning to drive could be the answer.

7. Fun days out... want to take your children out for the day? There are some awesome places in the area you could go with your children if you learnt to drive...Castell y Bere...CAT...Corris Craft Centre...to name a few!
