Here in the UK you must comply with a few criteria before you start your lessons. Firstly you need to be of at least 17 years of age. You will also have needed to successfully applied for a UK provisional driving licence. You can apply for a provisional licence three months before your 17 birthday. However, you will not be eligible to begin your driving course till you are 17 years old.
If you are keen to get driving, we always suggest reading the highway code cover to cover, so that you know the theory aspect of driving back to front. This will stand you in a good position when it comes to taking your theory test. It is possible to learn how to drive before you are 17, however, this must be done on private land. It is not always recommended that you begin learning this way as you can pick up bad habits if your are learning with family and friends.
