Question

In the Uk can you take your driving theory test before you are 17?

Answer 1

yes you can at 16

Answer 2

Only if you're in receipt of full disabled living allowance, in which case you can drive a car at the age of 16. If you're able bodied, no.

Answer 3

Before you can take your theory test you'll need to make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence.

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 take your theory test.
