It's a regular amount here. However people who want to get a license when being in their 30s and 40s need more lessons in average than younger persons.

Out driving test is you go to the DMV, and drive with a tester in the parking lot. You make a stop at a stop sign and park in a parking lot spot. You never leave the lot , there is no obstical couse, and it take a total of 10 minute.

Here it's 45 to 60 minutes driving. The idea is to test as many different situations, while city traffic is tested the most (50% to 90% of the time - for the car license at least). Included in the time is at least one parking practise and stopping at a slope and starting again (stick shift). If you do a big mistake (take someone elses right of way or run over a yellow traffic light, you fail instantly. With the parking you might rank twice before finding the optimal position. With most testers two minor mistakes (let's say you stall the engine once and also forget to look over your shoulder once when changing lanes or turning) are enough to fail. However there can be exceptions from this depending on the overall impression of the testee and the mood of the tester. I was lucky to have a mild tester and still it was close. When he said I should look for an opportunity to go about, I didn't take the first opportunity that was possible. Also when taking over a cyclist I shortly exceeded the speed limit by 7 km/h.
