Driving lessons in Turkey

Can someone tell me something about the driving lessons in Turkey?

In Holland you go to a driving-school and you get an instructor. You can choose how many lessons a week you want. Usually a lesson costs between 40-80 YTL and it is common to have between 20-40 lessons before asking for your exam. The costs for exams are around 200YTL.
You also need to pass your theory-exam before you can start your driving-exam. You can choose to pay for lessons or only study at home from your book.

How does it go in Turkey? Do fathers teach their children first a bit (not allowed in Holland and not so commonly done..) or do you start the first time with lessons?


I'm not seriously considering taking driver's lessons as I don't really see myself in Turksih traffic yet. But I'm just curious as I now feel sorry i refused to get all the lessons for my 18th birthday

I think you would be so brave to drive in Turkey... especially in Izmir. I have told my fiance that when I live in Izmir next year, I will never drive on Izmir roads..... OH MY GOD!!! Absolutely crazy. I think I would be a nervous wreck hehehe !!! Good luck anyway

You have to go a driving school first ( there are many private driving schools). you start with lessons. there are 3 lessons at first. healt (fist aid), motor knowledge and traffic. if you pass these lessons, you will take driving lessons. and at the end if u pass drving test too u can get ur driving license. but u have to prepare some papers like healt report from hospital. it will coast 600-700 YTl (depends on school)

Actually I was pretty amazed that the traffic in Izmir was so fine They do drive pretty crazy, but because they all do, it goes fine

I'm not planning to do so yet, but I'd really like to do so after a few months I guess.

Ok, thank you

I haven't got that money right now, but I could save a little bit each month, so that I can take lessons next summer or next autumn maybe. Just a thought
