    i took a total of 33 hours of lessons before i passed,
    i didnt do any of my own practice in between lessons, i only drove whilst in my lessons, but you should take any opportunities to gain more experience

    errr i think i had 40 and practiced in my sis's punto which was a v. bad idea as the punto had no power steering so took me ages to get used to it without and then have lessons with my instructor and his car had power steering so not very good practice.

    TIP: never ever drive a car without power steering nows -lol

    i dun remember


    in washington state, they require that anyone aquiring a lisence before they are 18 must go through driver's ed

    and because of that driver's ed is quite cheap (well not cheap, but cheaper than lots of other places)

    and although stupid kids in my school didn't realize how great that was and complaining aobut the cost, if they ever did move out of washington state, because of them having drivers ed, they may get discounts on issurance


    um to answer your questions

    1 hr a week for 9 weeks with a driving instructor
    but also required 50 hours total before your test
    and 10 hours required to be night driving

    i think it really depends on where you are taking the test. some states and countries have different requirements to pas the test. I took about 20 hours of driving classes and was only able to practice a couple of hours on my own. if you need to park for your test then you should practice that a lot. in new york if i remember you are supposed to use your mirrors for the test which is a lot harder to do and not hit the curb while get close enough to pass it.
