I had more than 40 lessons over the 11 months so that was a huge cost to me, but I had a job so I could pay for it :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576906596487955383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905402036623340404.post-62196333170367376702010-07-31T17:53:15.363-07:002010-07-31T17:53:15.363-07:00In Australia you go for your Learners when you are...In Australia you go for your Learners when you are 16yrs 6mths (I think it's still that anyway) and you used to be able to go for your driving test 6 months later. Now we have to do 100 hours of driving (bloody expensive if you require an instructor!!) and then you take the test. It sucks! I still haven't got mine and I'm 22, partly because I'm a crap driver and partly because I can't justify spending $60+ for every driving lesson! It's mental, but I s'pose it has reduced road accidents slightly :/M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02678938003432482627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905402036623340404.post-11425011857301795482010-07-31T12:59:42.154-07:002010-07-31T12:59:42.154-07:00I studied a book, then I took the test, passed, go...I studied a book, then I took the test, passed, got my permit, so i could drive with an adult, and then after 6 months i could go back and take my driving part, which i also passed, so now i have my license, but when you turn 16 you have to go back and get your real license, which lets you drive by yourself, but you don't have to take anymore tests or anything, you just get it.Phillhttp://havinggodinyourlife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905402036623340404.post-79651145383791537642010-07-31T07:44:29.276-07:002010-07-31T07:44:29.276-07:00wow,11 months!

We have one year to finish driving school, but average it takes about two to three months to finish it.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962458349888046976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905402036623340404.post-87677508408961326472010-07-31T07:18:20.686-07:002010-07-31T07:18:20.686-07:00In the UK we have to wait until our instructor fee...In the UK we have to wait until our instructor feels ready for us to take the test and pass too. Before that though we have to take our theory and get at least 43 marks out of 50 in a multiple choice test and 54 out of 77 (I think) in a hazard perception test. It took me 11 months from my first lesson to getting my full license and I'd say I'm a pretty good driver.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576906596487955383noreply@blogger.com
