It could be for a number of reasons.
I had one a few years ago who had been a year with an other instructor. It took me a further two years just to get her to pass the theory test. As for her driving, she just didn't concentrate. Whilst she was a pupil of mine, I taught her younger brother who took about 6 months from start, to passing his test. He said that she only really concentrated when she was using her computer. Scary, no?

I can also think of a few people who don't enjoy (or actively hate) driving but still force themselves to do it - a much scarier prospect!

Isn't that logic out of sequence? I mean, how does anyone know whether they enjoy driving until either they start to learn or feel they have sufficiently mastered the skill.
I'm sure there are many different reasons why people start learning to drive, but isn't yearning for the freedom one of the better ones?
