hey, i passed my driving test about 6 years ago now,
Instructor wise you need word of mouth, the instructor i had was indeed as some have mentioned a slight perve ("ooo thats not the gear stick... stop trying to touch me up") but i knew him from my local at the time and just told him to shut it....
he was an amazing instructor... passed myself 4 of my cousins and 7 of my friends all first time in under 20 lessons....i only needed 13 lessons with him but ended up having a couple more due to my test getting cancelled...
as for thoery tests.... go on amazon (other websites/shops are available) and get yourself the most up tp date DSA theory test pack... one that includes the hazard perception too....(usually around £9) and updated every September....
when i did my theory for car and bike i had about 3 questions that i had not seen before... all the rest i had practiced on the CD.
as for companies.... my instructor was AA yet was only in a Franchised vehicle.... my Ex was with RED and again it was the same thing... got lesson cheaper.... yet my current missus was with private self employed instructor but seems to be doing ok although (to me) was a little more expensive
Anywhhhooo.... ive babble on a bit with my 2cents so :z
