It doesn't take a few weeks to learn to drive a car safely. In Australia it takes 3 years and 100 hours of driving with someone else to get a license.
FWIW in NSW it's 120 hours logged as a learner and nearly everyone I've asked admits to lying a bit. It was only 50 hours when I did it, and most lied back then - mostly due to just driving until they felt ready for a test without really logging, then adding it later.
