Why I Wrote "Let's Go" – And Why It's More Important Than Ever!

I wrote the book over three years ago and all my learner drivers have the book to help them and to be fair when used well it can and has saved the need of elongated driving lessons as the learner reads between their lessons. But I've seen more and more learners struggling with the rising cost of driving lessons. In fact, a recent story from the BBC highlighted this exact issue, noting how the average hourly lesson now often falls between £36 and £40. They also pointed out that the backlog in practical driving tests means learners often need even more lessons just to stay sharp. This rising cost of living is making it incredibly tough for many to afford the lessons they need. You can read the full BBC story here: Rising Cost of Driving Lessons in the UK.

It was seeing these challenges, and hearing from my own learners, that prompted me to do something about it. My "Let's Go" book, which was previously only available to my own students, is now accessible to anyone who wants to learn to drive and save money. For just £50, this isn't just a book; it's like having me as your personal driving instructor, guiding you through every single stage of learning. From mastering the absolute basics to confidently tackling motorway driving, I've poured all my years of experience into these pages.

  • Save Over £1000 on Instructor Fees: I know how expensive driving lessons can be. That's why I created "Let's Go." It empowers you to learn and practice with an experienced driver you know – a family member or friend – in your own car. This can significantly reduce the number of costly professional lessons you'll need, putting hundreds of pounds back in your pocket!

  • Learn at Your Own Pace, Stress-Free: I understand that learning to drive can feel overwhelming. My unique blueprint breaks down every topic into easy-to-understand steps, allowing you to master each skill before moving on. My learners use the awesome Total Drive app to help manage their learn to drive progress. The way you and your support driver can do this is to write a number alongside the topics listed in the table of contents, where 1 is that you have been introduced to your topic, 2 is under full instruction, 3 prompted, where you are now sharing the responsibility with your support driver, 4 seldom prompted, at this point you would be almost test standard within this topic and finally, 5 where your are independent within the topic. By keeping assessments, you'll always know where you stand and what needs a bit more practice. This way, you'll find it easier to develop into test standard.

  • Comprehensive & Up-to-Date: I've made sure this 75-page guide covers the essentials you need to pass your practical driving test, first time, with confidence. It even includes advanced topics like motorway driving, which you'd typically only undertake with an approved driving instructor.

  • More Than Just a Book: When you get "Let's Go," you're not just getting a book. You're getting incredible online resources, including updates, answers, quizzes, and invaluable audio and video files! I want to give you every tool you need for a dynamic and successful learning experience.

  • Unique & Local Insight: This is a truly original, Barry-based book. I've packed it with practical advice and strategies honed from years of teaching right here in our local area.
