How I did it How to Learn to Drive by Steve123

It took me: 1 Years

I felt: Happy

"Passed!"

How I did it

The first step for me was to take the written test. This was not too hard - as long as you revise a bit you should pass with no problems - many of the questions were a matter of common sense.
The next step was to sign up with a driving school - I got lesson for my birthday which was really cool.
I took about 20 lessons before I was ready to take my test, but had a lot of practice in between with my dad.
I was very nervous on the day of the test, in fact so nervous that I messed up my parrellel parking. The examiner was really friendly and let me attempt this again as I was clearly nervous, which I managed to do OK. I thought I had definitely failed after that, but to my suprise he passed me!

Tips & Advice Go with a driving school - I found the lessons were great for learning the basics of how to dirve, and they prepare you exactly for what to look for in a test which is really helpful.

Learning to drive - next steps

On October 29th, 2010 Helen says:

I have finally booked my driving crash course - it for 2 weeks in April next year, after which time I will take my test.
I need to ensure I have passed the theory test before this time.
My goal is to be able to drive by next May - Woo hoo!

New driving partner

On April 16th, 2010 Kat says:

It really freaks me out when I go out driving with my mum - she gets so nervous and stressed!
I need to learn to drive, but I can't practice with her anymore! I love her to bits, but not in the car.
I need to find a new driving partner, asap!

I had a full two hour

On April 16th, 2010 Georgina says:

I had a full two hour lesson, and it made me realise I already know how to drive - the basics are all there. I just really need to practice - my instrutor reckons for 2 weeks before I take my test - not long!
I just need to work on my 3 point turn and parrallel parking which are rubbish.
I aim to practice them 3 times this week - if I can get my dad to take me out.

Learning to drive!

On November 5th, 2008 Helen says:

I am 27 years old and have not yet learnt to drive! I have finally got fed up of relying on others for lifts everywhere - it is about time I claimed my independence.
I have decided to learn to drive and want to do it as quickly as possible. I intend to take a crash course and pass my test as soon as possible.
Here is to my independence!

How I did it

I achieved this goal through large amounts of practice, practice and practice! This really was key for me.
The lessons I took really were essential to get the basics, but everything only started to come together once I felt confident enough to go out with my family. My dad was great in taking me out to practice - sometimes for many hours at a time.

Tips & Advice Find some friends and family who are willing to take you out for a practice ride (in supplement to your lessons) - this is where you will probably find you learn the most. Once you learn to drive, take it easy to begin with - you still have a lot to learn!
