Olivia Baldock, training co-ordinator at the Driving Instructors Association, said: "As the recession has hit harder over the past few years, more and more people have decided to save money and take lessons from parents and other relations.
"This is not always a good combination and can mean that people have to spend a lot more as they do not get the right training and end up having to take more tests and pay for more lessons."
At Beverly Slater School of Motoring we encourage private practice with family and friends because additional experience will make a safer driver.

We also encourage the supervising driver to sit in on a lesson, so they can see the learner's ability before venturing out with them.
