The number of driving hours needed depends on the country and individual learning ability. Here are some general guidelines:
- In the UK, although there is no legal minimum, the average learner requires around 40-50 hours of professional driving lessons plus about 22 hours of private practice to be well prepared for the test. Fast learners may pass with 20-30 hours of lessons, while others may need 60-80 hours or more.
- In Germany, there is a legal minimum of 12 practical driving hours spread across specific conditions: 5 hours on country roads, 4 hours on motorways, and 3 hours at night. However, most learners take additional lessons based on their individual needs, and practical training typically takes about three months.
- Some regions or driving schools may also have structured requirements for theory lessons and specialized driving conditions.
Ultimately, the number of hours needed varies by individual confidence, skill, and learning pace, as well as the legal requirements of the country. If the specific country or context is known, more precise guidance can be provided.
