Forms
The first thing you will need to do before driving on the road is get hold of a provisional licence. The form you need is:- Form D1, application for a driving licence which is available at Post Offices and from the DVLA. You can also book online through the direct.gov link.
Age restrictions
Cost
A provisional licence is currently £34.00 (if you pay online) or £43.00 (if you apply by post)
Reading up
If you already have a provisional licence but are not yet 17 the best thing you can do while you wait is to start reading some books on driving. I recommend:
The Highway Code - find on Amazon.co.uk
The official theory test book - find on Amazon.co.uk
The driving manual - find on Amazon.co.uk
All available from the DSA or normal book shops.
Getting started
Once you have your provisional licence and reach the age of 17 (or a week or two before) give me a call to book your first proper driving lesson, on 01483 721675 or 07773 125887.
Foreign license holders may find the form D100 useful, available from the post office.
