Lovely idea but a bit far to go for a driving lesson - Halesowen > Taunton

Plenty of practice time before & after lessons getting there & back though

you'd spend your life on the road! Very good driving practice though I learnt to drive by always getting to the drivers seat first My Mother only got her car back when I'd passed my test - and then she only had it in the daytime - I reclaimed it in the evenings

Maybe I ask for too much!

Absolutely not !!

I had an instructor who shouted at me, kept telling me what I'm doing wrong (not what i'm doing right)- all discouragement, and no encouragement, and he had a major BO issue. Yuck. He didn't last long.

Driving is one skill. Teaching is another skill.

For the teacher: if your student isn't learning, then you're not teaching effectively.
Switching back to your previous instructor sounds like an excellent plan.

Being relaxed when driving is very important - especially if you're hoping to enjoy driving your moggy!

There is no substitute for putting on the miles, driving the car at every opportunity.
I let my daughter do all the driving on a 2 week holiday in Cornwall, except the journeys there and back with the trailer. I took her down every nasty, twisty, hilly road and lane that I could find and then from the Lizard to Kingsbridge in Devon, and back. She had some lessons to learn how to pass the test which she did first time

your not far from me, so if you want ill pm you the number of my old instructor, dudes names andy, nice guy and has a very high pass rate. hes probably closer to you than me anyway, hes from wolverhampton way somewhere!
