Getting Started

Before learning to drive in the UK, and certainly long before you consider taking the test, there are a few fundamentals to know about. Legalities on age limits, vehicle classes and insurance are all things to be aware of before starting out. We also recommend you get a realistic idea of the time it takes to first practice, then apply and then take your theory test. Something that you must legally do before applying for your practical test.

This section provides an overview of all such considerations.
