Licence: What you need to know

Minimum age you can take a test
You can take your theory test once your provisional licence becomes valid
Normally, for car drivers, the earliest date your provisional licence can become valid is your 17th birthday, however you can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday

So, if you apply for your provisional licence before you are 17 you will still have to wait until your birthday before you can book you first on the road lesson or take your theory test

Disability living allowance

If you are receiving disability living allowance at the higher rate your provisional licence will come into effect when you are 16, but you can apply for it within three months of your 16th birthday

It is important to learn safe driving practice from the beginning of your driving career because bad habits are hard to break
It is unlikely that anyone except an approved driving instructor (ADI) would have the experience, knowledge and training to teach you properly. Learning safe driving habits from the start will improve the safety of yourself and other road users
