I had about 28, but the last 8 were just to be sure I passed first time - I did.
Had never driven a car before, only cycled (commuting, racing), so had road craft sorted as well as surface conditions, gearing & awareness of other road users.
My sister toook about 50 or 60 lessons over a 3 year period - passed third time.
I recon it might take you 6 or 7 lessons to adjust your brain to be 'dumb' again and lose the bad habits.

Had 5 but that was 25 years ago , got a mate who is a driving instructor he Say's the average now is 40 lessons because the examiners expect learner drivers to be as good as their instructors .

I had countless lessons and sat my test 4 times (3 times when i was 17 and passed when i was 23). When you have your first lesson your instructor should be able to tell you roughly how many you need to get you up to scratch.
I would suggest trying to get someone to take you out as i found having only 1 hour a week was not enough (sadly no one was brave enough to let me loose in their car lol)
Even if you are a great driver it all comes down to your test day, so just relax and try not to be to nervous or to cocky (as i was)
Good luck

I never took any formal lessons until after I had all ready received my licenses; got them on the first try. I had been driving for a couple of years around our farm, etc. and that is where I learned to drive. Then, after gaining my license, I did take Drivers Ed to lower my insurance rates. I believe that you will do find when you take your test.

I had about 10 but it was over 15 months passed first time, with one minor (youre allowed 15 minor mistakes)
I reckon i didnt have any and the guy testing me was an idiot. lol
If youve been driving on and off then it shouldn't take too long.

Illinois law requires 25 total hours of supervised driving time. I think 8 of those hours are with an instructor. I forget its been a while for me.

took me til my 3rd time. i was scared, cuz i would have to wait after my failed 3rd attempt. i find the people who know less about driving do better. i was driving for a long time before i got the permit, and knew all the rules, but tend to get casual at driving, which is a no no... those newbies are are nervous, so they stop for 5 seconds to be safe at a stop which is more then the 3second rule... hah

I had driver's ed in high school but I had been driving on a farm for years prior to that. I never had any problems driving.

When I passed my test, there was still a man walking in front of the car with a red flag!
