This does of course depend on your ability.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re only taking one lesson per week and studying once for your <b>theory test<\/b>, experts predict that it could take up to six months for you to get a licence.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do the experts know?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I respect the fact that \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcexperts\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 have calculated how long, on average, it takes to pass the <b>theory test<\/b> and practical driving exam. However, their calculation is based purely on driving ability it does not consider some of the barriers which you, as a learner driver, have to face.<\/p>\n<p>What am I talking about? Well, when I was learning to drive at 17 my lesson time was quite sporadic. Why? Because of the cost and that was 14 years ago. Since my days as a learner driver the cost of learning to drive has escalated.<\/p>\n<p>Driving lessons now cost a lot more as does the price of a <b>theory test<\/b> and practical exam. Therefore, I would have to strongly disagree that a timescale for learning to drive should be based on one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also a question of affordability.<\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind that I started learning to drive at 17-years-old, but I did not pass until I was 23. Granted, I did fail the practical exam three times before passing at the fourth attempt, but I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t necessarily say it was down to my driving ability, I would put some of it down to my learning pattern being so fragmented.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Truth<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There is no exact formula that can calculate how long it takes to pass a <b>theory test<\/b> and practical driving exam, not even based on your driving ability. As <b>Book Theory Test Today<\/b> has shown before, there are so many learner drivers on the road who have needed 40 or even 50 attempts to pass a <b>theory test<\/b> or practical driving exam.<\/p>\n<p>How long does it take to learn to drive?
