Most people manage to get their license in less than twenty lessons. Some few struggle through to thirty. Maria McCarthy, who lives in Devon, England, took 250 before she finally felt confident enough to take her license. And it cost her nearly £3000.
She’s now written a book called The Girls’ Guide to Losing Your
L-Plates, which both celebrates her success and gives other women like her lots of tips on how to persevere through the learning stages. It also encourages women to keep going: one women in the book “booked five tests, but failed to get out the test centre for three of them because of nerves."
McCarthy’s early attempts at driving were a ‘terrifying ordeal.’ This in spite of having been an aid worker in Romania, where she saw some ‘really awful things’. For her, driving was ‘something else entirely.’
