How many lesson's/hr's did it take you to pass?

Tom|Nbk · 23 May 2006 at 23:23

im asking because i have my 2nd lesson on friday and was just wondering, what the average is

[TW]Fox · 23 May 2006 at 23:24

Including or excluding the hour before the test and the test itself?

7 inc test.

paradigm · 23 May 2006 at 23:24

I passed after 8hrs of lessons

Nowhere near average though.

MrMatteh · 23 May 2006 at 23:25

30-something

1 test.

was spread over 2 summers.. thats my excuse

no other driving either

MrSix · 23 May 2006 at 23:27

6x 1 hour lessons then the test.

Rich1988 · 23 May 2006 at 23:27

like 40 hours here :/ have my test in a couple weeks, had no other experience outside lessons though.

Tom|Nbk · 23 May 2006 at 23:28

i guess my driving instructor will just tell me when he thinks im ready regardless of the amount of lessons ive had or the amount of hours ?

1 and half hour lessons are £25
1 hour lessons are £18

should i opt for the £18 1 hr lessons, would i save any money in the long run

It took me 15 lessons and about 5 hours of driving with my Dad before I took my test, though I felt ready after about 10 lessons.

Thats how long it took before I passed my test, but i'm still learning to drive.

personally I fine 1 and a half hours best, 1 hour is too short as you can take around half an hour travelling etc time, but two hours I found I lost concentration with it, its whatever suits you really.

Quite a few hours, due to having a 3 month test wait. One of the examiners had left and they took awhile to get sorted again.

Passed in November.

I think I did about a thousand miles outside of lessons, so it may be fast, but I was getting in the practice when I could.

I'm on 21, I will probably be ready by about the 30th.

I believe the average is somewhere in the region of 30/40.

Although asking here is not going to give a realistic average.

6hrs that were paid for

loltim · 24 May 2006 at 00:21

40 odd hrs I think, can't remember tbh.

DaveyD · 24 May 2006 at 00:22

25ish, though I can't believe how rubbish I was when I started off, don't think I had grapsed the whole what actually was happening inside etc.
