I've started driving lessons, and wanted to know how long it takes most people to pass. I'm having one 2 hour lesson per week plus a few hours extra practice when i can get it. I'd like to pass in under 6 months - is this realistic? Thanks

Yes very realistic. stick at it, get your theory done soon so you can take your practical and ask your instructor if there's anything in particular you need to work on.
good luck!

I had no previous driving experience when I started to learn with an instructor and I took a total of 10 lessons including the one just before the test itself and passed first time I was taking one lesson a week and therefor the whole thing took me less then 3 months, but of course it all depends on the individual, however it is possible within 6 months for sure.

It certainly sounds like you've got the right ideas and support for passing your test quickly. The amount of lessons you have is largely irrelevant as these are only needed to learn the techniques of driving. More important is the actual practicing of what the instructor has told you. I had loads of lessons, but no access to a car for practice and got on really badly. Left it for a year or so when I could afford more lessons and had access to Mum's car for practice and then came on in leaps and bounds! Assuming it is a parent's car you can use for practice - insist that you drive everywhere you can!
I have heard it said that you only really start learning to drive once you pass your test - I agree!

I passed my test after 14 lessons when I was 17, but I was getting practice in between in my mum's car so yes I think that's a realistic target..

Oh wow a whole $50 or $100 fine. That's a threat? Chances are cops aren't watching too close on those small of fines, if they see it they will pull you over but it isn't an enforcement level where the cops will honestly be searching and the criminals will be stopping. Add another 0 to the number to start getting REAL enforcement and REAL threats. If you are going to fine then make sure it is a HIGH ENOUGH number. The real punishment though is to suspend licenses.

Definitely realistic if you stick at having lessons at that rate!! It may take you longer or shorter though as it depends on how quickly you pick it up, some people can naturally drive others find it difficult!!! Good luck and don't pressure yourself!!

Depends on you really... I had 5 x 1 hour lessons, and passed first time.... but I know some people who have been trying for years and never passed!!!!

They say it takes as many lessons as you are years old to pass your test.
E.g. If you 18 years old it should take about 18 lessons.

I think on average it takes a learner driver around 40 hours before they're ready to take/pass their test.
So if you're looking at 2 hours a week then you should be ready in around 5 months or so
Good Luck
