That's about what you pay in Germany. You have to X hours driving at night, Y hours daytime, Z hours on the motorway.

Something like 60+ hours in total, for 45€ a lesson. 3000€ minimum.

Plus you have to attend something like 20 mandatory theory lessons, and they're usually scattered all around the place due to availability, and there's a fine if you miss a single one.

Learning from parents is not really allowed, you have to prove you went to a driving school before you do the test.

Only the English and Swiss have the luxury of turning up on the day sans proof of training. Explains why we're such excellent drivers haha
