Preparation

Before you start learning to drive you will need:

To be at least 17 years old.
To hold a provisional UK driving licence.
To have eyesight to an acceptable standard, to be able to read a number plate (with 79.4mm high characters) at 20.5m (67ft).

Provisional Licence

Up to three months before your 17th birthday you can apply for your first provisional driving licence. To obtain a provisional driving licence you will need to complete two application forms from the Post Office, a form D1 and a form D750 (the new photolicence application).

You will need to be in possession of your provisional driving licence before you can take any driving lessons, although you will be able to book your lessons at any time.
