How Long Does It Take To Learn To Drive?
When you learn to drive, you are developing a skill for life and this shouldn’t be rushed.
‘How long does it take to learn to drive’? is a commonly asked question. When you learn to drive, you are developing a skill for life and this shouldn’t be rushed.
Some people will book intensive driving courses that culminate in the driving test, so this could be a fairly quick process. However, you may find advanced driving instructors aren’t available as often as you would like or your work and other commitments may mean you can’t have driving lessons so regularly.
Consistency is key and practising as often as possible with your advanced driving instructor, driving practice with family or driving practice with friends will all help you to learn to drive at a quicker pace. Of course, driving test availability may not match with your preferred timescale and you will need to keep practising your driving skills while you wait for a suitably scheduled driving test to become available.
There are, however, other factors to consider. According to statistics, the younger you are, the quicker you will pick up those essential driving skills. Also, if you are already familiar with the Highway Code or have had a head start by studying in advance for your theory test, such as some online road safety training, then this will stand you in good stead to learn to drive more swiftly.
It’s important to get a good night’s sleep before any driving practice and wear sensible footwear while driving. These will help you maximise your practice time and ensure you stay focused.
