How Easy / Hard is it to get a Driving Licence (in the uk) ?
Answers:
Take lessons with a qualified instructor he should be experienced enough to know how many lessons you will need after your first outing with him.
When you can drive and do all the manoeuvres without being told what to do by your instructor then you are ready to take your test.
Also learners who have additional practise with friends and family have a higher pass rate.
Good Luck!
very easy to get a licence its just tuck 143 lessons for me
depends on the driver. my mate passed first time but it took me 7 attempts
Well the best way is to get an instructor who's been recommended by someone. You can do an intensive course which costs a bit, but its done over a couple of days with the test at the end. Personally I don't know anyone who's passed first time. You have to drive almost faultlessly for two hours, and perform certain manouvres, eg parallel parking and emergency stop and three point turn. Practice as much as possible.
Some people find the one off intensive course with a test at the end of a week the best way because if you pass at the end its all done and dusted, not dragged out.
I took weekly lessons from october to may and passed first time but i think my instructor was ripping me off tbh and taking me for as many lessons as he could get away with.
If you can practice outside lessons, every little bit helps, right?
I passed 1st time. i took about 6 official lessons before my instructor said i was ready. that's the best thing to go off.
intensive courses are a bad idea, because you are much more likely to crash in your 1st year.
well its harder than it was 3/4 yrs ago. but still possible. depends on hw gud u r at learning. i think boys/men find it easier than women but thats just me talking as my bro passed aty 17 a yr ago and i passed afta countless lessons at 21 2 yrs ago. i found it flippin difficult maan!!! whereas my bro hardly took any lessons!!!
It took me 2 years of lessons and I passed my test on my 6th attempt!
Should be a piece of cake now the political brigade have moved in as you don't have to speak or read English, how you are supposed to read the road sign's is not relevant apparently
Depends entirely on the person learning.
The best idea is to contact a reputable driving school, and ask them for an assessment.
They should tell you how many lessons they think you should need, and the costs involved, as a lot depends on spacial awareness and hand/foot eye coordination.
It might also depend on any previous experience you have of driving in other countries, and which side of the road you are accustomed to using.
Good Luck, and safe driving.
The UK test is one of the toughest in the Western world. I'm a Yank who used to live in the UK. I had been driving for over 15 years when I first arrived there. I figured the UK test would be a doddle. I passed the written test without any problem but the road test left my head spinning. I failed it miserably and it ultimately took 3 tries to finally pass.
Get lessons from a good driving school. Best advice I can give.
Well according to the DVLA the pass rate is 50% - which I think says a lot.
The problem is that you are being marked on the mistakes that you make rather than the things that you do well/right. These things can easily add up and you can get a serious (driver) fail for something so simple.
Its not just your skills you are being tested on but also your abilities to think and plan as your drive, no matter what the situation.
