We asked 153 drivers about their experience of learning to drive…

When asked for the top skill they wish they’d had more practice on, they responded
1. Motorways (17%)
2. Driving in bad weather (14%)
3. Parallel parking (14%)
4. Coping with skidding (12%)

91%

felt they didn’t have enough practice on all the key skills before taking to the roads on their own

Despite this…

93%

think they spent long enough learning with an instructor

So do drivers need to spend more time practicing outside of lessons?

The Association of British Insurers has proposed a minimum
12 month
learning period before the test can be taken.*

86% of our respondents passed in a year or less, and the average of this group was only
6 months of learning

Results taken from a survey of 153 drivers.
