They are ok, but only teach you how to pass your test, not how to drive.
When it comes to driving lessons, you should not need any more than 1 or 2 lessons for the actual practical side. The rest is just experience.
If you think you are comfortable building up the experience quickly in intensive courses, do it. It wont be any better/worse than the "regular" way.
Actually learning to drive comes once you have learnt to pass your test, pass it, and get on the road yourself.
Please tell me your joking? 1 or 2 lessons. The average time to pass is 40 hours and thats taking the people into account who have been learning for years.

Can't see why not. Can easily teach someone the fundamentals of how to drive and the rules of the road in 2 hours. The rest is just being able to actually do it. 40 hours is silly, personally I'd welcome a limit on number of lessons and tests, if you can't do it in 3 goes you're not cut out for it and shouldn't be on the road.

That is truly one hell of a cretinous rule. Some people aren't 'natural' drivers are require more tuition. Maybe if you start hitting 10+ fails then you really aren't fit for the road, 3 is extremely harsh.
If you're not a natural driver, you need more lessons, not more tests - surely?
It's very very easy to fail a test.
Yet again you come out with another cracker.
You should probably try engaging your brain before you post in future.
Sometimes people feel ready, take the test and fail due to nerves or plain bad luck. It's very very easy to fail a test.
Depends what you mean by "bad luck". What sort of "driving test failing scenario" would involve failing because of bad luck?
I'd argue that it's probably just as easy to pass the test as it is to fail. What's the national first-time pass rate? About 45-46%?
The issue of being nervous for a driving test is a difficult one though, that's for sure. And I'm not sure there's an answer to that. Apart from the fact that if you're nervous, you're probably not confident that you'll pass, which means you should go and practice until you ARE confident that you'll pass.

spot on. If you're too nervous to pass a driving test then you're certainly too nervous to be allowed to drive on your own amongst the busy traffic of todays roads.
