How long, on average, does it take someone to learn to drive well enough to pass their drivers test?
Seeing as I’m in Europe I learnt to drive manual, which takes a bit longer to learn. I must say that I’ve been obsessed with cars since I was 5 so I knew a lot of the theory behind everything before I started driving. Eventhough I’m in Switzerland and the driving exams are really difficult, I took 6 lessons over a period of a month. The lessons merely served to prepare me for the exams as I had already practiced quite a bit using my learner’s permit. All in all I would say the average person would take around 2 months. In Germany for example you are not allowed to drive without a full licence, the only experience you get is from driving with an instructor and I believe the minimum hours is 18. The instructor determines when you are ready to take the exam. It’s not hard to learn how to drive, it’s just hard to remember all the small details about the rules, and there are so many of them in Europe. Answer originally posted in response to How long
