- Get the provisional driving licence.
- Start studying for the theory test.
- Start taking driving lessons.

Once you pass the driving test, you will get the full driving licence.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I drive my car on the provisional licence? When you have your provisional licence you can drive on all roads except for motorways. You must be supervised when you’re learning to drive a car. This can be by a driving instructor or someone else who meets the rules, eg family or friends. The car you learn in must display ‘L’ plates. 2. What is a developing hazard? A developing hazard is something that would cause you to take action, like changing speed or direction. Example: A car is parked at the side of the road and isn’t doing anything. It wouldn’t cause you to take action, so it’s not a developing hazard. When you get closer, the car’s right-hand indicator starts to flash and it starts to move away. You’d need to slow down, so it’s now a developing hazard. 3. Can I use any other apps to study for the test? The Official DVSA Theory Test Kit app is enough to study for the test. However, if you want, you can download other apps as well.
A cheaper way to study for the exam is to get a free membership in the local library. This allows you to access the theory test pro website. The question Bank for the mcq is almost exactly what comes in the actual test. Plus the hazard perception too. Definitely worth looking into.
Also, a lot of bookstores have theory books and cds for sale. Please check that this the latest version as the rules keep changing.
Hope this helps.
