Yes, if you afford it, why not?

I have four granddaughters, and am currently paying for driving lessons for the third, who is due to take her test this month. It is something I’ve offered to do, as a 17th birthday present for each of them. My youngest is 15, so just under two years before she starts. We live in a village, so not a good bus service available.

Has anyone helped with driving lessons? They are so expensive these days. Living in a rural community and with hardly any public transport , driving is essential to drive to work /to a job /to catch a train or bus link ... I am thinking about putting money in a special fund, for either driving lessons in the future - or something else.
