Guaranteed pass courses that some driving schools offer sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Well you're right.

Without seeing how the learner take to their tuition in it is impossible to give a firm number to the lessons. Everyone will learn to drive at a rate that suits themselves.

Generally however, learners will fall into one of five learner categories. Outstanding, Fast, Average, Below Average or Slow.
Learning to drive, for some, will be natural and they can't understand what the fuss is about. But for others learning will prove to be a harder task.

By using five known components an estimate can be given as to the tuition hours that each type of learner would normally look to take.

• 2. Does the learner have previous driving experience -
  Motorbike riders have extra road sense 
• 3. Whether extra practice is taken outside of lessons -

• 4. The quickness in remembering what has been taught -
  Read driving books they improve memory
• 5. The learners age when taking lessons -
  From 17 the sooner you start the quicker learning will be
