where to start?
Your first job is to get a provisional driving licence. You must have one of these before you can start learning to drive. You can either apply for one online at www.dvla.gov.uk, or pick up a D1 form from the Post Office.
The provisional licence allows you to legally drive on public roads only if you are supervised by someone aged 21 or over, who has held a full EC/EEA licence for at least 3 years. This stands until you pass your driving test.
Other legal requirements:
You must be 17 or over*
*Unless you are disabled and receive mobility allowance, in which case you must be 16 or over
Your eyesight also has to meet a minimum standard (you have to be able to read a car number plate from 20.5m). If you can’t, a trip to the opticians is in order before you get behind the wheel.
