How long should a driving lesson take?

I start driving lessons next week, and I’m super nervous! I’ve never even driven a car before. How long should I expect the driving lesson to last?

Congratulations on your first driving lesson! How exciting. A driving lesson should take around one hour to one hour and a half, although some classes will be longer. Check with your driving instructor to find out how long your lesson will last. They’ll be able to tell you.
Here’s what to expect in your first driving lesson:
  • You’ll start in the passenger seat
  • You’ll learn the basic functions of the car
  • Your instructor will help ease you into driving
  • You will drive around residential areas
Once you get behind the wheel as a licensed driver, you’ll want to look into a
car insurance
policy that matches your needs.
