I took just one month of driving lessons, i took more for the writting exam but because i didnt pay much interest in it since it is the "boring part", but once i got with the car? it was probabaly just four weeks and the license was mine, then, during the first year you have to put an "L" on the rear windscreen and you cant go over 80 KM/H on the motorway, once that years is gone (this June to me) you are a "normal" driver, jsut like the rest.
