Learning to drive is a fun, but sometimes frustrating experience. Although, most people learn the basics pretty quickly, it can be some time until you are deemed competent to drive alone. It often takes people a few times to pass the test, however, this article will give you some tips to try and help you get through the tests and get on the road!

Administration

If you are under 17, driving on the road is illegal. To get driving in the UK, you need to apply for a provisional license, which permits you to drive provided that your vehicle has L plates, and you are accompanied by someone who has been driving for three years and is over the age of 21. You can do this via online booking and there is a standard fee of of around £50 to get a provisional license, and you are then legally classed as a learner driver. Practical experience You should get practical experience by having driving practice with either an instructor or someone you trust who has been driving for more than three years and is over the age of 21. However you must also pass a theory test exam online, however you must sit it in a DVLA test centre.

Driving and the test

Also, be sure that you know your way around the engine, as you may be asked to locate the dipstick or water tank. The most important thing is to be relaxed and aware, and do not book your test until you feel totally prepared.
