It was a tenner or near enough in 1985!!!
Presumably this is a loss leader for (say) 5 lessons and they are hoping that this will attract punters who take 10 years and 500 lessons (at much higher than initial rate) to pass?

Indeed, but they still have similar prices advertised on their cars. Is= it subsidised perhaps? Why would the government subsidise driving less= ons?

Supply and demand, there are too many instructors. They need CBT for cars.
Mine were a fiver in 66 or 67. OK it was Jeff Allam's mum doing it for pin money, for those who follow Touring Cars.
Did you get taught how to drive really really fast?

No, she was very sensible. I forget for the moment whether this was before or after I had bent one of their sale cars trying to move it back to the display position after the other partner (Mickie Fuller, subsequently head of the Motor Traders' Association) left it blocking the pumps.

They don't.
The industry relies upon a constant turnover of people desperate for a job and seeing driving as a reasonable amenable option.
The government does not subsidise driving schools.
It might (and only might) pay for some lessons for employees, etc, but only at the prevailing rate (or less).
They live modestly.
£1.75 an hour around 1971/1972.
That sort of driving doesn't use a lot of fuel and modern cars last very long time even with that sort of use even when they mostly do use new cars.
Someone must be paying for all those cars and plenty of the instructors are instructors for decades.
