When it comes time to get a drivers' license, Europeans usually go to driving schools to get ready to pass the government's exams. Since the driving tests usually include parallel parking, it shouldn't come as a surprise that many driving schools offer small cars for new drivers to learn with. Such is the case with the British School of Motoring, Britain's largest network of driver's schools, which has announced the purchase of 14,000 Fiats, most of them the 500 model.
Aside from being fun to drive, this could be quite a commercial achievement. Fiat has seen studies that show that 70 percent of new drivers choose to buy the model in which they got their license. It's a good deal for BSM, too, as the company gets a discount of £500 on every vehicle purchased. Find full press release after the jump.
