How long, on average, does it take someone to learn to drive well enough to pass their driver's test?

Question

I have just registered with a driving a school that is one of the best in Queens, NY. I will be given 25 hours of practical driven lesson spread over 3 weeks. I never had an prior experience and I was wondering if this training would be sufficient.

Answer 1

It's plenty.  As long as you stay calm and pay attention you will learn how to drive very quickly.  Most people aren't very good b/c they are scared the whole time or they don't look at their surroundings.  You'll be fine with 25 hours of practice driving.  I think when I was a kid and took driver school we only had like 8 hours or something like that.  I am a good driver and learned most of it then.  Of course if you have your permit you should be asking your parents to practice with them, that'll help.
