How Long Does Driving School Practice Usually Take?

Currently, in driving schools, the practice time is generally 34 hours for Subject 2 and 16 hours for Subject 3. Subject 2 typically takes one month, while Subject 3 takes 15 to 20 days. Usually, each practice session lasts 2 to 3 hours, and the fastest completion time is 3 months. Failing any subject adds an additional month. 1. The difference in learning time between Subject 2 and Subject 3 is due to variations in teaching schedules among driving schools and instructors. 2. Subject 4 can be prepared right after passing Subject 2. This way, you can take Subject 4 on the same day you pass Subject 3, saving the time needed to schedule Subject 4 and one exam day.

I just finished driving school, and the practice time varies from person to person. Generally, the basic part takes about 10 hours, and road driving adds another 20 hours. I remember practicing for over 30 hours in total, going three times a week, with each session lasting about two hours. Key factors include your coordination and the complexity of the traffic environment. Don’t rush; practice difficult maneuvers like reverse parking and right-angle turns more often. With time, you’ll become more comfortable with various road conditions, such as driving in rain or fog. Additionally, communicate more with your instructor and review after each lesson to speed up progress. Finally, do some intensive practice before the test. Overall, it takes about a month to complete, but safety comes first—don’t rush carelessly.

When accompanying my child through driving lessons, the entire process took approximately 40 hours. The driving school scheduled 15 training sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours. Factors influencing the duration include the child's learning pace—for instance, those with weaker coordination may require more practice for starting and stopping. Spending extra time on simulators beforehand to familiarize with steering wheel handling can save actual driving practice time. Practical training should cover both urban roads and highway sections, with emphasis on nighttime driving to reduce accident risks. Parents should offer support and encouragement, avoiding impatience, while reminding them to repeatedly practice skills like gear shifting and parallel parking. The overall goal is to prepare for the test, but greater emphasis is placed on cultivating safe driving habits to prevent future issues.

In driving schools, the duration of practice varies based on individual circumstances. Beginners typically require 30-60 hours of standard training, which includes basic control exercises and real-road driving, with each session lasting about two hours. Factors such as the student's psychological state and reaction speed come into play—for instance, nervous learners may need extra practice with reversing and emergency handling. It's advisable to schedule more training during peak hours to enhance adaptability and use auxiliary tools like dash cams to review driving mistakes. Don't just focus on test preparation; the real goal is to develop a defensive driving mindset to reduce accident risks.
