Passing your practical driving test?

Question

How did you feel when you passed your test?, were you excited?. Also how many lessons did it take for you to pass?.

Answer 1

"Freedom" :D

I took either 13 hours and the 14th was my test

or 14 hours and the 15th was my test I think.

But just beware of other road users!

Answer 2

I had lessons on and off over a year  (when i could afford it) so i cant really remember how many i had..

but i passed first time!

Definatly the most nervous i have ever been in all my life, but when i passed i was SO SO SO happy, awesome feeling :-D

Answer 3

very excited..I felt like a bird with new WINGS...

Answer 4

I lost count of lessons and changed driving instructors 3 times! I was really happy when I passed like most people i guess!

Answer 5

I felt like I was no way ready to drive on my own!!

It took me about 40 hours ro pass my test but I quit lessons half way through and didn't drive for a few months.

Oh and just to clear things up - there is no "recommended number of lessons" I don't know where people get this idea from. The only reference that the Driving Standards Agency make to "45 hours" is this:

"Those who pass their driving test have had, on average, about 45 hours of professional training combined with 22 hours of private practice."

This is just an average figure as a result of a survey and is therefore not in any way, a recommendation :)

Answer 6

I haven't passed yet, but the reccomended amount is 45 hours.

Some take 10 lessons

Some take 30

Some take 45
