I recently turned 18, so my parents signed me up for driving school. When I showed up at the academy, I was surprised by the cars they had available for students to learn on. They told me to pick whichever I liked best, and I chose the Mercedes-Benz G500.

    They also had Range Rover Sport, Mini Cooper, BMW, Tesla, Lexus, Nissan… It was surprising to see a driving academy with such a nice selection of cars.

      Are the lessons expensive ? Can’t see how they can afford leasing 100 000€ cars to students, who could potentially wreck them.

      Or it is a money laundering front.

        I didn’t really know much about it at first since my parents handled everything. Later on, I found out it’s actually a large academy, and they offer a special course for people who want to train in high-end cars. I checked their website, and it says 20 hours of training for that course costs around $7000.
