How many driving lessons do I need until I feel confident?

I just got my permit, but to be honest, driving freaks me out. My first lesson didn’t go too well. How many lessons does it take to get used to driving?

It’s normal to feel ill at ease when you’re new to driving! Most drivers require 10 to 12 driving lessons to feel confident behind the wheel.
Here are some tips for gaining confidence while driving:
  • Take at least 10 driving lessons.
  • Get behind the wheel daily if possible.
  • Find a licensed driver willing to be a regular passenger for day-to-day behind-the-wheel practice.
  • Drive in areas where you feel comfortable.
Once again, don’t fret if you’re nervous about driving—it’s totally normal.
