When can I start my driving lessons?
You
can start your driving lessons when you are 17 years old and have
a provisional driving licence in your possession. The age you can start if
you are currently getting Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate is 16
years old.
How do I apply for my provisional license?
Your provisional license will cost you £45.00 and you
must apply via the Driving Vehicle & Licensing Authority (DVLA). You can obtain an application
form via your local Post Office or visit the DVLA website at www.dvla.gov.uk for further information.
More
information about licensing requirements can be found in the Driving and Vehicle
Licensing Agency (DVLA) leaflet D100 "What you need to know about driving licences". Which is also available at your local
Post Office.
