I agree with Richard. Seems daft to me to sacrifice your benefits for a car that you can’t use, just to get driving lessons paid for. You’d be far wiser to use that money to pay for the lessons yourself and not have the time pressure. Another thing to think about is that you might have changed your mind about what car you want by the time you pass your test. My youngest daughter isn’t as confident a driver as her older sister, so when she (eventually) passed her test (on about the third attempt) she decided that she felt comfortable driving the car that she learned to drive in (Ford Focus) so that is what I bought her. I know it’s tempting to have that shiny new car sitting outside, but I fear you could live to regret it. Cart before the horse, as they say!
