Driving Licence

You need to hold a provisional driving license before you can get on the road and start to learn to drive. You can apply for your provisional licence up to 3 months before your 17th birthday.

You need to complete a D1 form which you can get from our shop or your post office and send it to the DVLA, or you can apply online

Once you are 17 and have a provisional licence, you can start your driving lessons and take your theory test.

Check your eyes

Before you start your lessons, make sure you can read a number plate in good daylight from 20.5 metres away – that's about five car lengths. For the new-style number plates (that were introduced on September 2001), the distance is 20 metres. If you wear glasses or contacts, make sure you always wear them when driving.
