It’s one of the most common questions we get, and the answer varies from person to person. While everyone learns at their own pace, the latest statistics suggest that, on average:

📊 45 hours of professional driving lessons
🚗 22 hours of additional practice with friends or family

But remember, this is just an average! Some may need more time, others may need less. The key is to focus on quality and confidence, not just the number of hours. Our experienced instructors at G.P.S. Driving School will tailor lessons to your individual needs, helping you learn safely and efficiently.

Not everyone passes the driving test on their first try – and that’s completely okay! It’s natural to feel disappointed, but remember, failure is just a stepping stone to success. 💪

If you don’t pass, here’s what we recommend:

1. Reflect and Learn: Identify the areas where you struggled. Was it a particular manoeuvre? Or maybe nerves got the better of you? It’s important to understand what went wrong, so you can improve.

2. Book More Lessons: Don’t worry – this isn’t the end of your journey! Work with your G.P.S. Driving School instructor to brush up on the skills you need. We’ll guide you through any challenges and help you build more confidence.

3. Stay Positive: It’s completely normal to feel frustrated, but many successful drivers didn’t pass the first time! With a bit more practice, you’ll get there.

4. Rebook Your Test: Once you're feeling ready, we’ll help you rebook your test and give you the support you need to pass with flying colours. 🚗💨

Remember, learning to drive is a journey. Stay motivated, keep practising, and with the right support, you’ll pass when the time is right! 🌟
