No friends/family to practice driving with - any suggestions on alternatives?

LawLearnin

I'm sure I'm far from the first to be in this situation, so am hoping those of ye who have gone before have some ideas for what I might do. I'm a learner driver and have done all the required lessons, but I'm really stuck for opportunities to practice. I've no family or friends nearby that have full driving licenses and would be available to come out with me to practice. Driving instructors are in high demand at the mo so it's really hard (plus expensive) to book a heap of lessons just to cram in as much practice as possible. Is the only practical solution for me to just book driving sessions across several different instructors wherever I can get the hours from them, or is there something else I haven't thought of?

Do you have older neighbours who would welcome a trip out. Many have valid licences but will only drive locally. Mind you, the advice you get may not be correct and best ignored, but you will get practice.
