The most commonly asked question we get here at LivingstonDrive is “how many lessons will I need?”

The cautious answer is that at the end of your first two hours lesson, your instructor will be able to give you an estimated amount of lessons you may need to take to get to test standard, this will vary from individual to individual

There are two categories of learner drivers – the learner who pick information up quickly and retained it and the learner that will take a little longer, the category you fall in will become apparent to your instructor at your first lesson

Everybody learns at different pace and there are many factors that might affect the number of lessons needed to be test-ready, such as age, frequency of lessons, supplementary driving practice (i.e. practice with family or friend) and learning style. It is vital to remember that everyone is different and learning to drive is a process that requires patience and perseverance

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) states that it takes the average UK driver around 45 hours’ worth of lessons to learn to drive, accompanied by an additional 22 hours of practicing with a responsible adult

Here at LivingstonDrive we aimed to get you test-ready within 36 hours which is our average time
