I’ve been learning since the end of January and have a driving test booked on Wednesday, it’s my second one because I failed the first. It sounds like your doing fine after 2 weeks. I don’t think I’m a natural driver, but can’t wait to pass my test. It’ll take as long as it takes, but it is defiantly worth it!!!
If you have no practice inbetween, it may take a while. Look it is like learning aliflong skill, and needs patience. Somepeople take months or years, otherw pick it up very quickly. you are an individual, so remember that - sit back, learn to relax, and take each new part of the skill taught as a challenge, there should be no pressure…remember this skill, if not taught properly could kill you and other people…so time is the key.
usually around 4-6 months you can speed up this time by driving as much as possible not with the instructor for example in a parents car under their supervision.
the national average for lessons is somewhere around 40 hours lessons but people that fail many times push that up quite a lot. It does depend on the person mostly though it all depends how long it takes to settle into driving.

I’m 53 & have never been behind the wheel of a car. I’ve never even ridden a bike. I’m facing my 1st driving lesson next month.
By ffordcash’s figures, even squeezing 2 lessons into a week when I can, it’ll take me eighteen months or more to learn.
And cost me nearly two thousand quid.
That’s assuming I do ok…
It’s like they’re all telling you, Maggie: ease up on yourself. You’ve only just begun.
P.S. You couldn’t give me a lift to my driving test, could you? It’s in 2009. Or 2010, or 2011…
Thats normal if your not allready i’d start taking 2 hour lessons as some driving schools (not all) do a discount for block booking

How long is a piece of string ,it all depends on the person .
