Im thinking of taking driving lessons?how long should each lesson be?and How many?

Question

I really want to learn how to drive within a month and Im willing to make an effort to learn..My question is How long would you reccomend each lesson to be?I dont want to over due it?is it wise to do like 3 hours a day for a week?Do crash driving courses work?and with what frequency should i take my classes?Thanks!

Answer 1

I tried to do it in a week on an intensive course (30 hours in a week) and wouldn't recommend it, I failed.

I think it was too much to take in over such a short period of time.

In the U.K a lesson is normally an hour or some people double up and have 2 lessons side by side. This is quite good to give you time to drive on a variety of different roads.

Not sure which country you're in but in the U.K learning is getting harder and harder and I would recommend having lesson plus praticing in your own time with a qualified driver if possible as well.

Answer 2

each state/country is different. Connecticut just changed it's teen driving laws to double what it used to be,hung on a curfew and prohibition on ANY passengers for a time period.

check with your local DMV

Answer 3

Usually they're an hour long, and in the UK cost generally upwards of £20/h. Some instructors offer 1 1/2 hour lessons, if you feel 2 hours might be too long. My lessons cost £18 but my instructor told me he's charging most people £20 now. I think I was fortunate that he told me £18 three months or so before I actually started and that could be why he stuck with that.

As for the frequency, that depends on you and your instructor. One of my friends had 10 lessons in three weeks but he didn't get very far - the usual is once a week. I don't think that you should try to pass within a month, to be honest. The average number of hours people aged around 17 and 18 take to pass is 40 ... if you want to have two-hour lessons five days a week it'd work out, theoretically, but in reality it's unlikely.

If you can practise in between lessons (with a qualified driver - over here the law requires that they're over 21 and have held a full licence for three years) you'll progress better than if you can't, but not to worry if this isn't an option. Just make sure you don't completely forget everything in between lessons!
