Some things you need to know

Driving Lessons in Shrewsbury

Getting Your Provisional Licence

As you'll be taking your test in Great Britain or Northern Ireland you'll need a provisional license.

You can get your provisional driving licence from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)...and the application form (form D1) is available from your local Post Office.

You need to be 17 before you can drive a car on the roads...but you can apply for your provisional license up to 3 months before your 17^th birthday.

It's important you tell the DVLA about any medical condition you have ever had, or are suffering from that could affect your control of your car.

If you have a medical condition which has become worse since your licence was issued or you develop a new medical condition, you must inform the DVLA of your condition, as it may affect your fitness to drive. Failure to do so is a criminal offence and is punishable by a fine.

Finding Your Driving Instructor

You need to get yourself an experienced driving instructor...

OK, I hear you say, why's that?

Well, if you start with your Dad or Mum...Brother or Sister, or a good friend...Yes, they're good drivers, but I'll bet that even they confess to having developed a lot of bad habits since they passed their test.

But, don't get me wrong...you still need your Mum, Dad, Brother or Sister or good friend...Why? so you can practise all the good habits you've been given by your experienced driving instructor.

And, be aware, when you go out for practise with someone else...make sure they're at least 21 years old and have held, and still hold, a full UK driving license for three years.

Also, make sure your car has 'L' plates fitted so they can be clearly seen both on the front and the rear.

You need an approved driving instructor (ADI) right from the start...someone who's trained long and hard to learn all there is to know to turn you into a safe, confident, driver...someone who'll take you from raw beginner to a driver who anyone will feel safe sitting beside. 

And, an approved driving instructor has 'DUAL CONTROLS' fitted in the car...this is a HUGE plus helping to keep you safe as you learn.
