For some it takes just a few hours, whilst other learners may spend years having lessons in a bid to gain their licence. But however long it takes you, they say you will always remember the person who taught you to drive.
It's important to find the right driving instructor that suits you - whether it's someone who can teach you around your work or school hours or someone who puts you at ease from the first lesson.
We're lucky enough to have some stellar driving teachers across the county. Now we're asking you to nominate the best of the best.
Perhaps they persevered with you, stayed patient through some hairy moments or gave you a sweet congratulations gift. Whatever the reason, we want to know.
Enter your answer in the form above, tell us who they are, where they are based and why they're the best. Alternatively, click here to open the nominations form in a new window.
