Learning to Drive
Learning to Drive can be really daunting but at the same time really exciting. Passing
your test can be a real step to gaining your independance. Below we've got some
helpful information and useful links that should help.
What you need to know:
- To learn to drive on the road you have to be 17, although some driving schools
do offer the chance to learn on private land from 16 years old.
- Don't forget you can start learning your theory from any age - just buy yourself
a copy of the highway code.
- To learn to drive you need a provisional license - you can apply for this before
you are 17 so you have it ready when you need it.
