BSM or conmen cont...

Over my next few lessons I noticed my instructor was really nervous & reserved - not really motivating me (nothing 2do with me)! He'd tell me about something I'd done wrong about ten mins after I'd done it - It would make me confused 'cos I couldn't really remember what it was! I mentioned to my instructor about doing my test & he told me I shouldn't be booking yet as there was a lot of things I need to learn? About 5 lessons later I got fed up of asking about my test so I decided to call my local BSM office and asked them to book it! I rung them a few days later to find out what was happening and they said the nearest date they could get was 30th March! Obviously I couldn't do anything about this! Last Saturday I had a lesson - My instructor asked me to do a reverse round a corner - it was really dangerous 'cos on coming traffic wouldn't have seen me (something blocking half the road!) and I had to tell HIM it was to dangerous!
I decided this instructor wasn't for me - & also I wasn't convinced about my test date! I contacted DSA who told me there are lots of dates before 30th March- so I changed my test! Next I called my local BSM office to tell them & also say about changing instructor - they we're snotty with me but in the end they agreed to change my instructor so as of my next lesson (11th Feb - Today!) I'd have a new instructor! Guess who turns up at my door today - the instructor I'd asked them to change- the atmosphere was terrible - & 'cos I wasn't comfortable I was making stupid mistakes! He didn't say anything apart from - 'you know you don't need an instructor to take your test!' At the end of the lesson he just got out my car and went - HOW RUDE! I just want 2know if anyone has had any experiences with this? And where do I stand with BSM! I think they should at least give me a refund from toady's lesson! They didn't contact me to say it would be the same instructor? It's completely unprofessional?

heard nothing but bad about B###dy S##t Motoring. But unfortunately that is what you get when u have a franchise that is just after money and not after reputation.

Stick to local driving instructors that are free lance and work for themselves. Book 1 lesson at a time as well to begin with to make sure they are up to the standard u would expect

ahh, you didn't say there was more to the story!

you can book your own test online within minutes so ignore them

go through your phone book a find a new school - personal recommendation is often best. some will do half price tester lessons

make a complaint and ask for a refund - the worst they can do is say no!
