The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) recommend 44 hours of professional lessons to pass a driving test, everyone learns at their own pace so this is only an average figure.
Your lessons can be one, one and a half or two hours long depending on your availability and your driving instructors.
Automatic vehicles are easier to learn in and if you have a disability or limited mobility they will probably be the best choice for you. However if you pass your driving test in an automatic vehicle your licence will only allow you to drive an automatic, if you pass your driving test in a manual vehicle you are legally allowed to drive manual and automatic.

“OUTSTANDING DRIVING SCHOOL.If you can, Kevin Hopps is the instructor your want. He was a very good instructor who was always on time and reliable. He is very patient and is always willing to teach those who are willing to learn. His car was always in immaculate condition he never tried to take the mick by longing the lesson amount to pass, as soon as you felt ready he would be recommending you book a test if you haven’t already. Would definitely recommend 1st Driving School to anyone who wants to learn or even to do an extended driving courses, and especially the driving instructor Kevin Hopps.”
