The frantic pace of people''s lives often means that they don''t want to have just one driving lesson per week.This is why in the last few years intensive residential (crash) courses have become very popular.An intensive residential crash course can condense months of driving lessons into a few days.Statistically the first 20% of any driving lesson is spent re-capping on the previous one.Both theory and practical tests can be done whilst on course, thus eliminating the normal test waiting time which in some areas is about 7 days for a theory test, and up to six weeks for a practical test.
