Is It Better To Have 1 Or 2 Hour Driving Lessons?Lauto Driving School Explains.

When it comes to choosing between 1-hour and 2-hour driving lessons, there are several factors to consider, and each option has its own benefits. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which might be better for you:

Benefits of 1-Hour Driving Lessons:

  1. Less Fatigue: Shorter lessons can help prevent fatigue, especially for beginners who may find longer sessions overwhelming.
  2. Focused Learning: A 1-hour lesson allows for concentrated practice on specific skills without feeling rushed.
  3. Frequent Practice: If you’re taking lessons more frequently (like daily or every other day), shorter sessions can fit better into your schedule.

Benefits of 2-Hour Driving Lessons:

  1. More Practice Time: Longer lessons provide more opportunities to practice and reinforce skills, which can be beneficial for building confidence.
  2. Better Value: Many driving schools offer better rates for longer sessions, making it a more cost-effective option.
  3. In-Depth Learning: With a 2-hour lesson, you can cover more material and have time for a break, allowing for a more comprehensive learning experience.
  4. The place of the state examination and its distance from the meeting place. If the travel time is significant, it will not allow us to familiarize ourselves with the scope of the examination.
  5. Shortening the duration of the course at the Warsaw Driving School.

What Others Are Saying:

  • Many learners have found that 2-hour lessons with a short break in the middle are ideal, as they provide enough time to practice without feeling rushed.
  • Generally, most people learning to drive prefer 2-hour lessons because they allow for more extensive practice and skill development.

Conclusion:

Ultimately, the choice between 1-hour and 2-hour driving lessons depends on your personal learning style, schedule, and comfort level. If you’re just starting out, you might want to begin with 1-hour lessons and gradually transition to 2-hour session as you gain confidence.

Exam routes in Warsaw.
Exam routes in Warsaw. Driving school „Lauto” publishes sample routes from WORD on Odlewnicza and Bemowo

When Wojtek signed up for a category B course at a driving school in Warsaw, he didn’t think he would experience a real horror. Namely, he took the practical exam at WORD five times. His friends got the driving license on the first, second, or maybe third attempt, and he failed exam after exam and blushed with shame in front of his friends. After many sleepless nights, he came to the conclusion that the reason for his humiliation was the WORD where he took the exam, so he started to consider taking it in another city.

A driving school from Warsaw answers the question: Where is the easiest place to pass your driving test?

Wojtek invited his friend nicknamed Pixel for a beer to get advice on which WORD outside the capital to take the exam at.

– I don’t know how much I can help you – Pixel replied – because I have data from 2023, when I took my driving test. The situation was as follows: the easiest way to pass the theory test in Poland was in Opole, where the pass rate was 71%, and the practice test in Rzeszów – there it was 51%. Here, on Odlewnicza, the pass rate for category B theory was 56%, and for practice 35%. In Bemowo, on the other hand, the pass rate for theory was 50%, and for practice 31%. In my opinion, you shouldn’t be influenced by the pass rate of a given WORD, but choose the right OSK, where you will practice the exam routes until the end and learn how to drive safely. Here are the contact details for my driving school in Warsaw, where you will have no problem getting your driving test.

Wojtek transferred to a new school, where he traveled the alleged examination routes.

A driving school from Warsaw answers the question: What was Wojtek’s exam route like from WORD on Odlewnicza?

  • After passing the WORD gate, he gave way to vehicles from the right, leaving the parking lot. Then, giving way to vehicles from the left and those turning from the right, he turned right, onto Odlewnicza.
  • At the traffic lights he turned right, onto Annopol, giving way to pedestrians. At the traffic lights on Rembielińska the left lane was for turning left, and the right lane was for going straight or right. The instructor didn’t tell us where to go, so we had to go straight…
  • He turned right onto Poborzańska, where he gave way to trams and pedestrians. Then he crossed Bolesławicka, an unmarked equal intersection, where, going straight, he gave way to vehicles from the right. A moment later, an equal intersection with Goworowska, so going straight, he again gave way to vehicles from the right. Another equal intersection on Niemeńska, which is marked with the A-5 sign.
  • At the next unmarked intersection he turned left onto Ogińskiego, giving way to vehicles from the right and those coming from the opposite direction straight on or turning right.
  • He stopped at the intersection because he had a „STOP” (B-20). Then he turned left onto Bartnicza, giving way to vehicles on the road with priority and those coming straight from the opposite direction or turning right. Then right again onto Bolesławicka, and passed the intersection of equivalent roads with Nadwiślańska, then Syrokomli, then right onto Julianowska, and right again onto Ogińskiego, from where he turned left onto the equivalent in Syrokomli.
  • Then right onto Wysockiego, then right onto Poborzańska, giving way to pedestrians and cyclists. Then, at an equal intersection, he turned onto Ogińskiego, giving way to drivers from the right and from the opposite direction who were going straight or turning right. Taking up the right-hand lane at the traffic lights, he turned right onto Bazyliańska, giving way to cyclists and pedestrians.
  • Then he turned right, from Kondratowicza onto Rembielińska. He left the viaduct onto a one-way road with a D-3 sign, and then, at the intersection of equal roads, he turned left from the left edge of the roadway. At the height of the Volvo showroom, he turned left again, giving way to vehicles coming straight from the opposite direction or turning right. There was a STOP sign (B-20) and a right turn order, so he stopped and gave way to vehicles from the left. He crossed the intersection with Łabiszyńska, and then from the left lane he turned onto Krasnobrodzka, giving way to pedestrians and cyclists. There, he braked to a stop in a designated place, i.e. in front of a lamppost. He was driving straight ahead, so at the intersection with Chodecka there was a priority road with a D-1 sign with a T-6 sign (road with priority when turning right, from the opposite direction give way), so he gave way to vehicles coming from the right. Here he parked and turned around using reverse gear. And so he returned to the intersection, where he turned left onto Chodecka, having a yield sign with a T-6 sign (from the opposite direction and from the left have priority, and we have to give way), so he gave way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction and from the left.
  • Although the light was red at the intersection, the green arrow lit up, which he stopped in front of, and then — because there were no pedestrians — he turned right onto Łojewska. Taking up the left lane, he turned left at the traffic light, onto Łabiszyńska, giving way to pedestrians.
  • He turned around at the intersection with traffic lights (S-1, Kondratowicza), giving way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction and then to a bus that joined the traffic from the stop.
  • Then he took the middle lane to go straight or left and turned left at the traffic lights under the viaduct at the Moraczewski roundabout. He sped along the expressway, paying attention to the speed limit. Finally he left it and reached Odlewnicza, where he gave way to cyclists and turned right to WORD.

A driving school from Warsaw answers the question: What was Wojtek’s exam route like from WORD in Bemowo?

  • The student, driving on Powstańców Śląskich, reached the yield sign, gave way to pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other vehicles driving with priority and, keeping to his lane, turned left onto Piastów Śląskich. Then he took the middle lane to turn left and at the traffic lights entered Powstańców Śląskich.
  • Then he took the right lane to turn right and exited onto Maczka on green, giving way to pedestrians. Then he took the right lane to turn right again and exited onto Powązkowska on green, giving way to pedestrians.
  • At the intersection with the Defenders of Tobruk there was a sign saying a priority road with a plate (priority from his side and right, and yield to the opposite side), he was driving straight ahead, so he gave way to vehicles from the right, because he was in an equal situation with them on the priority road. A bit further on he braked to a stop in a designated place, i.e. at a lamppost and at the right edge of the roadway. After checking in his mirrors and over his shoulder and giving way to other vehicles, he moved on. A moment later he drove into a gate, where he turned around using reverse gear. Then he turned right and, giving way, drove into Maczek.
  • He moved into the left lane to turn left, then turned around at the roundabout with traffic lights. Making the second turn, he watched for vehicles turning from the adjacent lane, then moved into the right lane to go straight ahead of Maczek. Then he moved into the right lane to turn right, where he drove into Rudnickiego at the lights, giving way to cyclists and pedestrians.
  • Then he took the right lane to go straight ahead and drove through the roundabout. He took the left lane to turn left, onto Broniewskiego, at the traffic lights, giving way to vehicles going straight ahead from the opposite direction and turning right, as well as pedestrians. Then at the traffic lights he turned right, onto Jarzębskiego, giving way to pedestrians and cyclists.
  • He turned right onto Staffa to practice perpendicular parking. He drove straight through the parallel intersection and entered a one-way street, then turned left from the left edge of the road onto Lisowska. Then he drove through another parallel intersection, driving straight through the intersection with the yield sign onto Żeromskiego, also driving straight through it.
  • Another equal on Schoroegera, he drove straight onto a one-way street. He reached the intersection with a yield, and then with a STOP sign (he stopped in front of a solid line) and turned left onto Kasprowicza.
  • Then, at the intersection with traffic lights, he turned left onto Aleje Zjednoczenia. Finally, he reached the intersection with the side green arrow (S-2), where, after giving way to pedestrians and cyclists, he turned right onto Broniewskiego, where he soon took the middle lane to turn left onto Reymonta, at the traffic lights.
  • Overcoming subsequent intersections, he drove straight to the WORD, finally turned at the traffic lights into Piastów Śląskich and after giving way to a bus that was joining the traffic from the stop, he turned right again into Powstańców Śląskich, and from there he reached the WORD.

A driving school from Warsaw answers the question: Is it worth taking an exam at WORD outside the capital?

As Wojtek’s story shows, there is no such need. The boy chose a good OSK in the capital and thanks to this he not only prepared himself to drive on Polish roads, but also passed the category B exam. So it was enough to change the center to the „Lauto” driving school from Warsaw, so that the issue of choosing WORD became just a formality…

Top 10 Warsaw driving schools
TOP 10 driving schools from Warsaw in 2025. OSK „Lauto” presents a ranking of the best centers based on students’ opinions

When Zbyszek decided to take a course for category B, he knew he had to find the best driving school in Warsaw, without which he had no chance of getting a license. The boy had never sat behind the wheel, he spent his free time in front of the computer, and the word „WORD” was clearly associated with software, not with an examination center

Zbyszek adopted the following search methodology: according to Google reviews, he will select nine centers with at least 300 ratings and an average rating of 4.9 to 5.0 out of 5.0. Then he will ask his friends to recommend the school where they did the course, and based on their opinions, he will select the last center in the ranking.

Every now and then, the lecturer weaves in interesting facts that help maintain interest. If someone claims to have slept during the lectures, they are either lying or they came to them after a sleepless night. It is similar with practical classes. The instructor will take care of a relaxed atmosphere, and completely sober, so that the learning will go into your head like a knife through butter. If the student has problems with a maneuver that should appear on the exam, the instructor will practice it with him to perfection.

Thanks to the fact that the students undergo training with several of them, and not just with one favorite, they prepare better for the exam, because each of them brings a certain freshness to the training.

Driving school from Warsaw recommended by a neighbor

When Zbyszek made a list of the top nine centers according to Google reviews, he contacted his friends to tell him which school they recommended as the tenth.

Unfortunately, his friends let him down. No one wanted to recommend a school to him, because every person he asked was not entirely satisfied with the course for category B. Some were thinking about changing the center, others had failed several attempts at the WORD exam…

The boy decided to go for a walk with Burek, and after returning, he would find another school worth recommending online. He had just left the building when a sports car pulled up in the parking lot, and a neighbor over fifty years old got out.

When Zbyszek got over the initial shock, because until then he had known this woman for her mohair beret and sitting on a pillow in the window, he said to her:

— Mrs. Gizela, do you have a driving license?

— Of course I do! Zbysiu, life begins at fifty…

— When did you make them?

— Last week… I passed on my first try!

Zbigniew mentioned the names of the above centers and asked which one she had taken the course at.

— I didn’t take any courses in these schools…

— So where?

„My mother recommended another center,” the neighbor continued. „She passed the exam there last year…”

Zbigniew’s jaw dropped two meters below the ground. Now he was certain that since Mrs. Gizela and her mother, who must have been in her seventies, had passed the exam there, nothing was impossible for the instructors there and they would help him get his coveted license too.

— So what’s the name of this school?

Driving school “Lauto” from Warsaw … Mention Gizela and you’ll get a discount, because Mr. Konrad, the head of this driving school, likes me a lot…
