Get a bike.
It's approaching summer when all the tourists turn the main roads into carparks. Bike = Filtering.

bikes are great, but not so good in the winter. do your bike first, get mobile, then do your car, at least you will have an appreciation for bikers then.

I started out on a 125 scotter back in the day, great fun, but when kids and responsibilty came along the old 5 door estate is much handier, wouldnt like to pick my missus up from asda on a bike with all those bags and 2 nippers in tow.

theres nothing stopping you riding a scooter whilst doing your driving lessons as you can ride a scooter on a provisional.

I second this,you can always spot a car driver that rides bikes too. I passed both my car and bike test within a few weeks of each other. Was only interested in bikes though so that was my transport for years. Now its a car that I use due to having the kids.
So yes,get a bike have some fun,get to some rallies and bike meets and with the money you save from paying less tax etc you can put towards car lessons.

Tax and MOT, whats that???

If you can't get away from the police on a motorbike then you shouldn't be riding one.
