Driving Lessons

If you can drive, how many did you have and how long did it take you?

I turned 17 the other week and am currently waiting for my provisional.

My dad taught me how to drive. I didn't take any formal driving classes. I got my permit at 16 and my license at 17.

About 500 and still haven't passed

Ive taken 5 so far (got one tommorow) its pretty easy tbh.

Took me ages, loads of lessons and 3 tests. I made it hard for myself by not paying attention enough though.

I've got my 6th lesson tomorrow afternoon.

My first lesson was awful, felt like i was operating a tank but you get used to it after a few.

None. I only have a provisional so I can use it as ID.

I cannot wait until I am 17 to drive. Then when I pass, I will get a liscence to drive trucks.

Four lessons and a bit of driving around with my mates.

Passed my test in February.

I had about 4 lessons when I was 17 nearly 18, but then I got a girlfriend and basically stopped having lessons and spent all my time with her. We broke up about a year later, just before I started University and I then spent the next 2 years at the University, not bothering with driving lessons or anything.

After those first 2 years of Uni, I decided to take a year out 'cause I got bored of Uni. A gap year, if you will. During that time I had around 20 lessons and then passed my test first time.

Going back to Uni this October, and I bet it'll feel so much better being able to drive there.

Having a car is a money sucking hoover btw. Be warned.

Does your Corsa get you all the pussy.

Scotty doesn't need no car to get the pussy.

He just needs some rohypnol and rope.

Jealous.

Took me about 22 lessons but 4 tests. I failed 3 in one month and then my instructor got a new job so I had to find a new one, then I didn't get chance to do another test for a few months but I passed it when I did.

I was talking to a driving instructor because I turn 17 this weekend and asked this question and he said in his experience on average 20-25 hours is the average amount of time someone who passes has had. The amount of lessons will obviously vary on how long you have per lesson.

I can't wait to start, been out with my mum in the car park. First time, the clutch was a bastard.

I want a Ford Fiesta Ztec in Black.

Mixture of parents and mates teaching me how to drive. Could have go my license by now if I could actually be bothered.

I was 17 last month, had about 12 lessons so far.

I spend too much money on clothes. I will start one day.

got mine at 17/18, didn't start driving regularly till about 19

TBH I was too immature to be driving at around 15/16 when I started learning, I didn't pay attention & barely knew the rules.
