Our list of useful links, websites and resources
Welcome to our links page, here you will find some useful and helpful driving resources with links to websites concerning learning to drive, road safety, road laws and regulations.
Here is a list of things that you need to start driving:
Before starting your lessons, you need to have a Provisional Driving Licence.
If you do not have a provisional, you will need to apply for one.
You can either apply for this online here https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-provisional-driving-licence or contact your local Post Office for an application form (D1).
Before completing the form there are a few key points to consider.
The law states that the minimum age you may learn to drive a car is 17.
If you are disabled and in receipt of Mobility Allowance, the minimum age is 16.
Once you have completed the form, please return it to the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
You will then receive your Provisional Driving Licence.
You will need to show your provisional driving licence when you start your driving lessons.
