Hi all
I'm 17 and had my first driving lesson on the Sunday that's just gone. It went quite well, to start with I just practised stopping and starting, then did some simple turns, and for the last half an hour of the lesson or so (total lesson length is 1 hour) I drove around main roads stopping at traffic lights, going up to about 30mph in third gear...It all went quite well. At the end of the test, I booked another one for Wednesday
Had the lesson on Wednesday, and that went OK too. Went into a side street, and practised my clutch control and quite a lot of left turns, then moving on some right turns. Did a couple of 3 point turns, that went OK. On the way home, encountered a couple of mini roundabouts and some junctions that I had to give way at. I've got another lesson booked for this Saturday
My main question is how many driving lessons should I be taking on average? I've been looking around the internet, and found that it varies on the individual. At the end of my first lesson, I asked my instructor when I should book my next lesson and he said "whenever you want - The more lessons you take the quicker you'll learn."
From Saturday, I'm thinking about taking 1 lesson every other day. I'm gonna mention this to my instructor and see what he thinks, and whether it will be a waste of time/money or it'll be better for me and help me pass faster. But just wanted to see what your opinions are, and if there any instructors here that could chip in that would be great.
Thanks for reading, and any questions just ask - I'm in the UK btw
