How much does the school cost for you guys? Over here it's about $1700 and 20 hours theory + about 30 hours driving.

no real "driving schools" here in aus, or at least nothing mandatory.

you can go to an instructor whos job basically is to teach you the test route, they charge around $50 a lesson (you usually go for 10 x 1 hour lessons, with each hour counting as 3 logged hours, so 30 hours driving)

Driving schools aren't mandatory as far as I know. Also lol. My city has 7 driving schools and they are all in within 5km of each other.

oh well it might be a similar thing, they sort of work as independent instructors?

Over here you have to do 120 hours of logged driving before you can even go for the test, so think yourself lucky

Not sure what you mean by "independent instructor" but they are all actual driving schools with lessons and such.

16 is a pretty young age to start taking proper driving tests.
