Really?! That's crap! Surely if you feel ready to take your test, then you should just do it, regardless of how many lessons you have? One of my friends only had about 30

That sounds like a load of crap to me. If you can drive then you can drive! It took me more than 80 lessons mind you, so I'm safe

I was hoping to get away with 40 atm! It should be when you are reading or you instructor tells you you are ready! Iv been looking on google and cant find anything but one of my friends says it is true she saw it on the news

Katie, if it was true, it would be on here as they are the regulatory body for driving www.dsa.gov.uk/And I can't find anything about it

Its probably just another idea the government keep throwing up, targetting young drivers. Its like the idea of "you're not allowed to drive in the dark" and stuff

If this is true then I'll have to have 80 lessons as well as now having to wait until I'm 18 to learn to drive? I may as well not bother

i expect its probably just an idea of someone who wants to try and reduce the number of accidents invloving young drivers so wants to improve their experience before letting them loose on the roads. i passed my test last may (and am a safe driver) but i doubt ive been in a car for 80 hours yet so in that case id still have L-plates at the moment even tho i was judged by the current system to have been able to hold a full licence 9 months ago. i dont see how this (if it ever is introduced) would make the whole system safer because people pick up bad habits and want to show off to their mates no matter how much driving experience they have had

I doubt the Government would be able to impose such a rule. It doesn't take into account that people take different times to reach a level of ability.
It's pure nonsense, and as I said before it would be on the DSA website
