How many days does it take to learn how to drive a car?

I want to get my license as soon as I can, but I haven’t started my driving lessons yet. How many days will it take me to learn how to drive? I’m hoping I can master it quickly so that I can have more freedom.

It will take different people different numbers of days to learn how to
drive safely
. The average person will learn how to drive after 45 hours of driving lessons and another 22 hours of practice. The number of days that this takes you, however, is entirely dependent on how much you drive each day.
The average American drives for about 46 minutes per day. Assuming you drive at this rate, it will take you about 88 days to learn how to drive. To get your hours up more quickly, consider asking your parent or guardian about setting aside time in your schedule each day to practice!
Since you’re learning to drive, it’s a good idea to learn about car insurance, too. The
Jerry
 app makes it easy to find the best rates on the coverage you need in a matter of minutes. Just download the app and it will gather affordable quotes and help you sign-up for your new policy!
