A provisional licence is a legal requirement that can be applied for three months before your 17th birthday. You can do this online or with the D1 form that you can get from post offices. It is also necessary to fill out some forms to confirm your identity. Your provisional licence costs £50.00. Once you’re 17 and have signed your provisional licence, you can start driving and take your Theory Test.

Theory Test

 

To be a good driver it is essential to understand road signs, be able to anticipate dangers and follow the rules of the road which are critical to a driver throughout their driving life. The test is made up of two parts – a hazard perception section and a multiple choice section. Both parts must be passed before your driving test can be booked. The Hazard perception requires 44 marks out of the possible 75. The marks needed to pass a theory test is 43marks out of a possible 50.
