If you feel like you are taking longer than the national average, it usually comes down to practical everyday factors, not your ability behind the wheel.The last of 4 Real Reasons that affect how long it takes you to learn to drive. 3. Confidence and Anxiety LevelsDriving a heavy piece of metal surrounded by traffic is genuinely stressful. We are seeing more students than ever managing driving anxiety, and very low confidence levels in general. Trying to rush through that fear and constantly comparing yourself to more confident people, only causes mistakes and ultimately has the opposite effect of making you less confident and more anxious. Taking a gradual, step-by-step approach to build real confidence is a strength, not a weakness. You will be a much safer driver as a result.

The Quality of Private PracticePrivate practice with parents or family is great—unless you spend two hours driving around reinforcing bad habits or getting into a screaming match. To make extra practice actually work for you, set specific goals with your instructor so your accompanying driver knows exactly what skills you are supposed to be working on.At Trident Driver Training we use progress books and charts so that you have a clear idea what to practice. We encourage accompanying drivers to sit in on lessons so they can see what you need to practice. Practice areas are also key to your progress. Any practice is useful practice but if you always drive the same roads and never stretch your skills to the areas you need to develop you are going to take longer to learn.

Your Personal Learning StyleLearning to drive requires two completely different skill sets: the mental theory and the physical coordination. Everyone balances these differently. You might find steering and car control a breeze but struggle to get your head around test theory. Or, you might pass your theory test with a perfect score but need way more repetition to build up your physical confidence. Both paths are 100% normal so don’t compare yourself to others - they have their own difficulties but they may not tell you about them. Others may already have learned skills that are relevant for driving like riding a bike, tractor, moped. Even things like playing musical instruments will affect how you learn to drive. Drummers usually learn quickly because they are used to doing different things with each arm/leg and can co-ordinate pedals and steering easily. Your age will affect your learning style. Unfortunately that’s a fact of life. Those younger students who are already in a learning environment will be more tuned into soaking up new information. That’s Science not skill.
