First driving lessons
When can I start driving lessons?

To start driving a car as a learner you need to be least 17 yrs old and have a provisional driving licence.

You can apply for a provisional driving licence anytime after you’re 15 years and 9 months old.

You must be supervised when you’re learning to drive a car. This can be by a driving instructor or someone else who meets the rules, for example family or friends.

The car you learn in must display ‘L’ plates.

You can drive at any time, day and night.

You can only drive on motorways if you’re with an approved driving instructor and the car is fitted with dual controls (extra pedals for the instructor)

Unlike over 86% of other instructors I regularly sit in on my pupil's driving tests, so I am able to offer realistic 'mock' practice test to my pupils and explain EXACTLY what will happen on test, hence my exceptionally high pass rates.
