How old do I need to be to start driving lessons?

You'll need to be 17 or older and hold a valid provisional licence.

If you get or have applied for, the enhanced rate of the mobility component of  Personal Independence Payment (PIP), you can begin driving lessons when you're 16.

Can I supervise a learner driver without being an instructor?

Yes, you can if you’re over 21 and have held your licence for over 3 years.

If you're supervising a learner driver, you have the same legal responsibilities as if you were driving the car.

As the qualified driver, you're deemed to be the person in control of the vehicle.

How many lessons do I need to take before I take my driving test?

Whilst there isn’t a minimum number of lessons or hours you must take before you book or sit your practical test. The DVSA says that most learners require 45 hours of driving lessons, in addition to around 20 hours of practice with a friend or family member.

Can I practice my driving outside of my lessons?

Yes, whilst additional practice away from your lessons isn’t essential, it is proven that learner drivers who gain experience of various situations and conditions before taking their practical test generally perform better on their test.

If you choose to practice your driving with a friend or family member you must ensure that:

  • They’re over 21

  • They’re qualified to drive the type of vehicle you want to learn in e.g. they must hold a manual licence if they’re supervising you in a manual vehicle

  • They’ve held their licence for a minimum of 3 years

  • You hold an applicable learner driver insurance policy – some insurers may stipulate that the person supervising you is over the age of 25.
