You must have a  Provisional Driving Licence  for Great Britain or Northern Ireland when you’re learning to drive or ride.

Picture
Accompanying drivers
You can practice your driving with an accompanying driver if they:
  • are over 21
  • have had (and still have) a full licence in the same category as the vehicle you’re driving, for 3 years
L and D plates
If you’re a learner driver you must also put ‘L’ plates on prominent places on the front and back of your vehicle. (These can be ‘L’ or ‘D’ plates in Wales.)

Motorways
You can’t drive on the motorway with a provisional licence unless accompanied by a fully qualified DVSA  Approved Driving Instructor (Car).

When can I apply?

For   car drivers, the earliest date your   Provisional Licence  can become valid is your 17th birthday. However, you can apply for the licence up to three months before your  17th birthday. 

If you apply for your provisional licence before you are 17, you will still have to wait  until your birthday before you can take your   Theory Test, but it does not stop you  getting prepared.

If you are receiving disability living allowance   at the higher rate your provisional licence will come  into effect when you are 16,  but you can apply for  it within three months  of your 16th birthday.
