In the UK you need to have a provisional driving licence and be at least 17 years old to start driving on the road. You can apply for your provisional licence when you’re 15 years and 9 months old. You can drive a car when you are 16 if you get, or have applied for, the enhanced rate of the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP). All the criteria for getting your licence are fully outlined by Government (covering eyesight, costs and how to apply).

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to be able to start driving lessons?
What do I need to be able to start driving lessons?
How long will it take me to learn how to drive?
It is difficult to estimate how long each individual student will take to be test ready, because we all come with different experiences and abilities, and we all learn in different ways. The Government (DVSA) say it takes most students 40 hours to learn. But its completely dependent on the individual.
Can I start to learn to drive before I have passed my Theory Test?
es you can start to learn to drive before you take your Theory Test. However, it is important to understand the rules of the road, signs and markings so we strongly recommend students start their theory test revision early. This will definitely help to accelerate your learning and get you test-ready. Remember, you cannot book your practical driving test until you have passed your Theory Test, and your Theory Test Certificate only lasts for 2 years.
Can you train me and pick me up from my home?
Provided your home is close to a suitable training area and near a test centre, this would potentially be possible. If this is not the case it would be better for you to meet your trainer at the training area rather than having them waste valuable training time picking you up and dropping you off from home. The last thing you want is to conduct the training near your home if it isn’t suitable as this would simply increase your chances of failure.
What happens if I fail?
At SDS we are confident that following your individually structured driving instructor learning programme you will have the very best chance of passing the qualifying exam. But don’t worry if you fail your exam. We will support you to pass.
