No, of course you're not saying anything of the sort, but I'm sure both you and I have a lot more "road experience" than an 18 year old who's just taken their test for the first time, haven't we? And that is, when it comes down to it, what a driving test *really* needs to teach.
And that road experience is probably what will make you fail the test (daft as that sounds)
Take my dad (please, someone, I beg you, take him off our hands!) he's got about 40 years driving experience but there is no way in hell that he'd be able to pass the practical test let alone the theory test.

Driving lessons serve one purpose, to get you to pass the test. Once you've done that, that's when you start to drive.
