How many driving lessons do I need to take?
I want to learn how to drive, but I am super busy with school and theater, so I don’t have a lot of time. How many driving lessons do I need in order to learn how to drive?

Sounds like you’re pretty invested in your extracurriculars! Unfortunately, if you really want to
learn how to drive
, it’s going to take some time. You should take 23 to 45 driving lessons if private instruction is the only way you are learning how to drive.The average new driver is recommended to receive about 45 hours of guided instruction to properly learn how to drive. The average driving lesson takes one to two hours, so when you do the math, that’s 23 to 45 driving lessons, depending on how long your lessons are.
Keep in mind that your state may have the following requirements:
- Driver’s education
- Supervised driving hours with a parent or guardian
Look up your state’s specific requirements when you are planning your private instruction so that you can adjust the amount of driving lessons accordingly. Once you’re ready to take to the road, use the [Jerry] app with your family to find an
