How many hours does it take on average to pass a driving test?
I just got my permit last week and I’m getting ready to start practicing for my driver’s test! But here’s the thing—I’m younger than some of my friends. Most have already gotten their licenses, and when I asked how long it took them to be ready to pass their test, they all gave me very different answers. How long does it take to pass a driving test?

Congratulations on
getting your permit
! Now, the real fun begins—the time you actually spend behind the wheel (with a fully licensed, eligible driver in the passenger seat, of course).As far as your question, the average number of hours it takes to pass a driving test is 40-45 hours of lessons. Some students, however, have reported being ready to go in 20 hours—but that’s not always typical.
If 40 hours seems like a lot, remember that you’re learning to operate a large, heavy machine at speeds that can damage or kill. So, it’s critical that you understand the rules of the road—for your safety and for the safety of others around you.
Because good drivers pay less for
car insurance
