Is driving hard?

How difficult is it to learn how to drive? I’m about to start taking lessons and I’m kind of nervous. It seems like it’s really complicated and I’m worried it’ll take me a long time to learn.

Try not to be nervous about learning how to drive! While driving can be hard at first, it will get easier with time as you learn more about the controls and the rules of the road.
It takes the average person 45 hours of driving lessons and an additional 22 hours of solo practice to fully master their driving skills, so cut yourself a little slack when it comes to learning to drive.
Your driving instructor also won’t typically start you on the road. Instead, you’ll practice in a safe, contained space, like a
parking lot
, until you get more comfortable with the car and its various moving parts. Then, you’ll work your way up to highway driving over time.
As a new driver, it can also be really difficult to find affordable car insurance. The
