The starting point for the 2-4 hours is from when someone can balance on a bike and has time to practice between sessions.
(To learn to balance from scratch takes between 1-3 hours with a trainer)
I can't remember how much the driving test covers coping with traffic since did mine 32 years ago though I did a 'drive check' with the IAM which really did focus on coping techniques, many were similar to thechniques taught by cycle training (Positioning, anticipation, awareness communication)
