  1. You can hold a provisional driving licence as of Age 17 and you can apply for it up to three months before your 17th birthday.

    You cannot drive alone and unsupervised on a provisional licence and must display "L" plates at all times.

    Once you have the licence you must take driving lessons (preferably with an approved instructor, but a friend or family member can teach you).  You will then have to pass both a theory and practical driving test before you can apply for a full driving licence.

    The DVLA's own website has everything you need to know: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Lea...  Best of luck when you start driving!


  2. i agree with richard, my daughter is 17 end july and just applied for hers, it's £50 fee. You can do it online if you have a valid passport and debit/cred card

  3. You can apply for your provisional now, but the start date you have to put the date of your 17th birthday.  I had my 1st lesson on my 17th birthday.

  4. Now. Though you won't be able to start lessons until your birthday.

  5. u have 2 wait 4 ur bday then u can start straight away good luck

  6. I don't know  about the UK but in the US the earliest age is  16 with parent/guardian permission and driver's ed courses.

  7. NOW

    you can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday.

    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.

    AND WILL TAKE APROX 3 WEEKS TO ARRIVE

    SO NOW

  8. Go into the post office and ask for the provisional driving license form.  Then once you're 17, fill it out and send it off to the DVLA (address is given on the form).  The price of the license is £40.

  9. Please learn to spell before you learn to drive.
