Learning to drive

[Rob]

Ive been learning to drive for a while now and ive just done 40hours worth of lessons. Does anyone know what the average is now as my instructor hasnt mentioned putting me in for my test yet and it seems like im not learning anything anymore im just driving around and feel confident enough to drive on my own now?

So whats the average or reccomended amount of hours learning to drive?

Changes for everyone. If you genuinely feel confident and happy, ask your instructor to put you in for it now.

Some people only need a few hours (though they usually already know how to drive before learning), some need over 100 hours.

You done your theory?

30?
I done 19.
a few of my mates done

29
24
13 < had his own car and just learn with his parents after a while.

Edit i reckon 30 actually.

I think its in the 50's but I am not sure, if you are ready, ask your instructor.

When you feel ready!

Put in for your test now, it can take upto 8weeks for the test date... Don't let him milk you!

[30stone]

Can take more than 8 weeks sometimes andy.

It all goes on confidence.

Usually older people are less confident with learning.

I can't stand driving tests. I've failed twice now. :(

[LemonJam]

I've had 10. =D

[andyman]

If you fail just try and try again..

More than 8weeks?!?! Lol he better put in for his test then, sounds like the OP is being ripped off big time!

My Stepmum failed 6 times. Dear of her. She passed on her 7th. My Dad failed once then passed. My mum passed first time. :thumbs:

[Harry!]

I can't drive,
Im 14
Wish I could.

My mum drives
Didnt take her that long to learn.

Sign of the times.

[Gemmer-x]

ugh i'v only had 6hours and i hate it! :(
but i think you should speak to your instructor + tell him you think your ready, and see what he says.

[Tom]

Average is 25 hours

[Rob]

ive spoke to my instructor and he says hes not sure until ive done my theory, sure he should be able to tell me if im ready or not yet even i cant take my test yet. Just fells like i am getting no where.

[Fom]

I havent even started learning yet, I sent off for my provisional 2 days ago!

You should've done you're theory a long long time ago (like after about 10 lessons)

sounds like the instructor is only after profits and doesn't really want to help
