I've had 10 lessons so far, in a manual ford focus(05 plate) with the AA(£24pl, oh dear :( )

My sister has a ford focus, manual 02 plate.

Well i want to practice in it, i know i need someone over 21 who has had their liscense for over 3 years, that would be my dad, but im wondering to i need to insure my name under her car as a learner or something? How much would this cost around?

Also my sister and dad think i have no car control at all and say "10 lessons isnt enough blahblahblah you dont have full control your instructer uses dual controls", after i tell him he RARELY uses the dual controls. This works me up so bad :( , Anyone got any ideas on encouraging them?

In the manual thingy AA sent me they said the average learner needs 22hours private practice..!
 
Im pretty confident i could. I drove my sister focus around the block a week ago or so.. I mean i don't even want to force my dad to take me onto busy main roads, just quite roads would do me for improving clutch control.
