I had 5 3 hour lessons over a period of two weeks, plus lots of driving with parents, and passed first time less than a month after turning 17.
I should have had 6 lessons, but I deferred one and used it for two hours instruction on the motorway after I'd passed instead. My reasoning was that if I failed, it was unlikely to be because I'd not had enough instruction, more that it would be a stupid mistake or lack of practice.
In retrospect it was probably a bit quick, but I had a load of road experience as I'd been riding bikes in city traffic for years. I've had a clean licence and insurance record ever since, so I must be doing something right.
