To ask how many driving lessons it took to pass your test?

Just that really. Curious to know what it’s taken for others.

JacquesHammer Wow... pretty much identical to me!

Wow... pretty much identical to me!

I passed in 2001. I remember being highly affronted that no bugger answered their phone for me to relay the news!

Two lessons each an hour long, then took my test and passed first time .

21 lessons then failed ( I so wasnt ready to even try), then went travelling for a year came home took another 20 lessons failed, but passed after another 4. I only count the second set

20 x 1hr lessons - no other practice. 21st "lesson" was my test. Passed first time
DH took his test 4 times before he passed -as i tell him if he complains about something when im driving
He is a better parallell parker than I am

12 lessons - started learning in September passed test in November, passed with 4 faults - I'm not a preeny type of person but this I am proud of!

14 lessons. Passed theory first time and practical first time.

I was 39 when I started to learn to drive and had loads of lessons because I lacked confidence but I passed my test first time when I was 49. At least 52 lessons I reckon.

40 not 49!!!

Maybe 50 lessons? Possibly more. No access to car, no driving partner or parent to show me the ropes and extremely a little nervous.

Been driving for 2.5 years and all going well so far.

Over 100 over a period of six years...passed third time

Can I be nosey and ask what year this was? guessing circa 1970

Mines probably into three figures. Started learning at 17, passed at 21 but had some time off when I was at uni including a year spent abroad. Driving does not come naturally to me and it took six goes to pass my practical Almost five years on and I've barely driven at all, I really really don't want to get my own car and am putting it off for as long as possible.

120 lessons
5 driving instructors
4 theory tests
3 driving tests
Over a period of 5 and a half years

40 hours of lessons with an instructor and about 100 hours of practice with a friend.

@formerbabe lol - 1990's ! (I grew up driving around on private land from a young age !)

12 lessons when I was 16 and passed first time. I didn't have a car to practice in.

There was no theory test then though!

My motivation was the price of lessons and the fact that I lived on a tiny island with rubbish public transport. Driving was freedom!

Oh ok,so it's not like you had only had two hours of driving experience then passed you test?! That sounded unlikely to me!

Ten lessons plus a LOT of practise with DH. Passed first time.

9 hours of lessons. No theory test in those days. The kids had about 35 each, I think.

5 lessons

250 lessons over two years.

Mind you, I did pass first time ...

I had 10 x 1-hour lessons and a bit of practice.

DD1 had 5 x 2-hour lessons then did 70+ hours of driving, which is the norm here.

Five hours a day for four days, test on the Friday, passed. Not with one of these intensive driving schools, just an independent instructor. He was brilliant, used to be a black cabbie. Made me drive all over London, not the test routes locally (home counties), said if I could drive there and keep my cool I could drive anywhere. He was right

This was in 2006 so I had to do hazard perception, theory and show and tell questions
