Typical lesson totals (DVSA average):

  • ~45 hours of professional driving lessons with an approved instructor

  • ~22 hours of private practice (with a qualified supervising driver)
    So in total that’s around 67 hours of driving experience before passing the practical test.

These figures are averages — some learners may pass with far fewer hours (e.g., 20–30 hours) and others may require more (50–60+), depending on experience, confidence, practice, and frequency of lessons.
