I want to learn how to drive?

hello i cant find a driving book to learn how to drive and i am 17. my guardian is busy so hard to find time to get one. now instead of getting one. i thought it will be best if people gave me their knowledge about driving so i wouldn't have to buy the book etc. just tell me all you know * what i would need to pass* so i can take the test when i think i am ready. thank you to all who participate in this.
