£5000? Jesus Christ, hope that’s atypical since I’m planning on trying to get a license this year.

I did it in 25 hours at £30 per hour.

Everybody is different and learns thing at different paces. I also did automatic only so that makes it easier.

The theory was the one for me. Couldn’t bring myself to study, damn ADHD, but I do have general common sense and I pick up things from the environment so I figured I could just hope I got questions I knew. Failed once then passed next one.

My mate gave me his theory CD that was endorsed by the AA or BSM or something, I just repeatedly did the exam….passed the theory exam second time, cause I failed hazard perception the first time.

I did…I want to say about 35 hours?

And I also supplemented with a g25 wheel/pedal set and ETS2.
Which helped more than you might expect (gear positions, clutch control, dealing with other traffic, blind spots)

G25 has been lent out to multiple friends to do the same thing too, so definitely paid for itself.

Theory, once you’re paying attention to the road in general, isn’t too bad at all. I paid about a fiver for month’s access to a revision website, which had the material, and almost identical hazard perception clips.
