To look for
Yes, it sounds silly, but many people see a driving school on the street, near their house, and think it's the only option, so they contact them and hire their services. That's a mistake!
Always research other options, as many driving schools charge exorbitant fees, especially in cases of repeating a test or failing, often without you even knowing what's happening.
In short, the first tip is: research options near you, and if they're not so close, budget for which one is the best value in the end.
Having done that, another thing to note is that simulator lessons are no longer mandatory, meaning you can practice directly in the car, which leads us to the second tip.
