How Long Should You Practice Driving in a Day?
2 Answers
It is recommended that 2-3 people take turns practicing driving, with each session not exceeding 1 hour and not less than half an hour. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Limited energy: Practicing driving is physically demanding, requiring both hands and feet to work together while maintaining high concentration. A person's energy and focus are limited, and an adult can typically maintain this for about 40 minutes at a time. Once this limit is exceeded, efficiency drops significantly. 2. Driving cannot be mastered quickly: Developing good driving habits requires time and persistent training, not just a day or two of continuous practice. While diligence can compensate for clumsiness and practice makes perfect, these do not mean achieving mastery in a short time. Diligent practice emphasizes persistence rather than frequency. 3. Intermittent practice is more efficient: Practicing driving, like any work, requires a balance of effort and rest to make it easier. After a few rounds of practice, take a break and let someone else take over. During this time, you can not only rest but also observe others' driving to learn from their strengths and weaknesses.
Last time I was learning to drive, as a beginner, I was really nervous. Don't practice for too long in a day, 1-2 hours is enough. Take a break after each practice session to avoid fatigue. On the first day, I tried for 3 hours and almost made a mistake, my hands were shaking as a result. It's recommended to start with basic operations, such as starting and stopping, and gradually increase the difficulty. Combine theory by watching videos or reading books, this way you can progress faster and avoid safety hazards. It's better to practice in divided time slots, for example, 1 hour in the morning when you're full of energy, and another half an hour in the evening for review. Don't be greedy, practicing 4-5 days a week is quite balanced. Remember, safety first, and don't hesitate to ask your instructor to adjust the schedule.
