Just Out Of Interest

[shelley bda]

I'm learning to drive and have just had my 13th driving lesson, just wondering how many lesson's you all had before you passed your driving test's, i'm in no rush to take the test, just me being curious.........



I havent even booked my theory yet, like i say i'm in no rush

[phunkygal]

i havent passed yet had 10 lessons a year ago and hated it now im starting again. my theory is in a week im gonna fail i know nothing about cars. most people i know had about 20 depending on how fast they learnt and whether they could practice or not.

[iMc]

I had between 40-50 lessons. I think 30 is about average.

[headbrace]

I had about 18 proper lessons with my instructor, but my dad took me out a lot too, so it was probably at least 30 hours or so in total.

I have my test in a couple of weeks and I'll have had 20 hours. But I've done alot of practise with parents. IMO, lessons are needed at the beggining to ensure you don't learn bad habits, but then its just practise which I can do outside of lessons.

Awwww don't say that!!! i'm sure you won't i hope you don't anyway......

get the highway code... sit down and study it....there's loads of info on the net about the theory test ( i posted up an online one in Jon bda's thread )

Good Luck for your test next week

15 hours, but i did a lot of driving with me dad (and i passed first time which keeps the count down)

[Konan555]

Something like 8 lessons plus 1 more before the 2nd test (damn those red lights).

Was driving a lot before I took them, so the lessons where to tidy everything up.

[shelley bda]

I started out more or less from scratch.... last drove 14 years ago or so ( bloody nora i feel old )

I'm not the most confident of people......

So when i get to my 30th 40th lesson i want to be wondering if it's all worth bothering with

I had abt 20, difficult to remember after 18 yrs

Stick with it anyway Shelley mate

Let me know what roads to avoid

Thanks

And don't worry, with you being down south and me being "oop north there's little chance of meeting me on the roads

I had LOADS - one a day for about 3 months... mind you work was paying for them so why not

[Rave]

Think I had about 5 hours before my first test (which I then failed) and another couple before my second (which I passed).

I actually learned how to drive a car when I was 12 though (in my grandad's field) and I had a moped when I was 16, so on my 17th birthday I hopped in the car and drove us all to school. I drove around for another six months with my mum before I had any lessons; they were just to practice stuff like reversing round corners (which I was atrocious at, and still am), and reverse parking (which I'm O.K. at).

You'll want to be doing lessons all the way up to the test. So check when you can book your test for. You don't want to do 30 lessons and get really ready for it only to find out that you have to wait a month for your test and therefore take another 10 lessons to keep everything on the level. I don't remember how many i had, probably 25 is close enough.

I had 20 lessons of 2hour stints, only ever did official lessons, my dad wouldn't trust me in his car
