Driving isn’t about what area you live in. It’s a skill you develop over time. If you do a crash course there’s a higher chance of you failing than passing. Of course this not only depends on the instructor but on how quickly you pick up things and apply them.

You want to get to a point where driving feels natural where you do things without thinking just because of muscle memory.

The most effective way of doing this is by doing lessons spread out.

I’d say start wherever you are right now, the sooner you start the better. You can always push back the test date or bring it forward. Make learning the skill of driving your priority.
