It’s no secret that, here at PassMeFast, we’re huge fans of the intensive approach to learning to drive. Why drag lessons out over the course of a year when you can learn to drive from scratch in a matter of weeks? That’s no fun for you or your bank account!

With these events now over a decade in our rear-view mirror, it’s time for us to look back. We’ll be examining the extent to which people stopped learning...
