Requirements.

You should be a minimum of 17 years of age and in possession of a provisional driving license. In order to start learning to drive, you must complete a driving licence application form D1 and photocard application form D750 (available from most post offices) at a cost of £29. It is worth remembering that it is illegal to drive unaccompanied until you have passed all parts of the driving test.

You should ensure that your eyesight meets the required standards i.e. that you are able to read a number plate from a distance of 20.5 metres (approximately 67 feet). If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses then these should be worn at all times when driving.

It is not a requirement that you have a certain number of lessons before applying for your driving test - everybody learns at different speeds and I will advise you when you are ready for your test.
