I've got my 2nd driving lesson soon! I'm picking it up really fast and should be on the roads in no time =)... How many driving lessons/tests did it take you before you had your license? are you a driving god or a completle road idiot? =P

I only had 19 lessons with an instructor, however I was out practising with my dad nearly everyday, so I passed just over 3 months after my 17th birthday. It's really all about getting as much experience as you can before sitting your test, then you will be prepared for anything out of the ordinary. Make sure you don't have any distractions when you're learning (radio, etc) and you don't get any bad habits (turning one-handed, hand on gear stick, etc) while you're learning. This means once you have a license, driving will be second nature and bad habits and distractions won't affect your driving ability. However, if you develop them when you're first learning, they'll be harder to get rid of. And I'd consider myself to be a pretty good driver, in that I know exactly what I'm doing and how to handle any situation. Hope that helps :)

It does help thanks =) My dad has started taking me around in the car too... I don't pick up his habbits even when he tells me to do certain things.. I just listen to what he's saying and take the basics out of it... I' m doing really well concidering I've only had 3 lessons... I can drive (Just not by the book ;))

I got my permit on my third try and my license on my third try. That was back when I was a teenager. I'd say I'm more of a driving God than a road idiot. I'd be an idiot to go driving under the influence when it took me that many tries to get my license, which is why I haven't and never will.

At first,im somewhat a road idiot but i improved as it goes by.I took a damn 36 driving lessons which cost my parents a whole lots buckssss!! At last,i could get a certified license after a second attempt on my practical driving test.That's a relieved.My driving license was such a hectic moment i could conclude.Im just kinda bad at first but soon im okay with it now.
Good luck to you on getting a driving license.You must have interest to learn as its really helps you to catch up with it. =)

Thanks =)
Glad to see you passed eventually though! I've already picked up ALL the basics of driving in one single lesson... And no I'm not trying to get further than I can reach... It's just easy! I do have alot of interest in learning to drive and you're right, It does help and makes you want to know how things work and how you do it..
