In Canada we have a thing called telephone directory...
Look it up yourself.
Since you are PC literate, search the web !

I've surfed the web and gathered some info abt what the govt requires to get the G1. I called up young drivers of canada (school) and they said 799$ not including the govt fees. I really cant spend that much.

Can anyone recommend a school (from their experience) which just gives you practice and at the same time is reliable. I know I can read the book myself and memorize the signs and rules i dont need lectures.

thanks

If you already know some driving, you should be able to get it for about $325 incl government (certification) fee. Will send you the name + contact number by PM........

Of course, you might also want to check out the classifieds on this website.

Hope this helps.

As Crenshaw has written, you can get driving lessons for about $300 or less depending on how many lessons are you comfortable with. It costs about $25 per hour for each lesson. Do not try to take two hr lessons - split them into 2 and you will get better practice.

The advantage of taking classes (lectures) is not only that you learn the theory better than what you would get by simply reading the book, but a life long advantage will be reduction in insurance premium. the first time I took my car, I had not taken any lessons. I took the lessons, and gave the insurance company a copy of the certificate of having attended classes. The premium immediatley came down by $750 p.a. efective that day, which was about two months after my insurance started - so by paying $350 for the classes, I saved $ 625 in the very first year!
