Young Drivers

Firstly, if you’re a young driver one of the best things you can do to get ahead in driving is to apply for a provisional driving licence three months before your reach the age of 17.

Minimum driving age UK

In the UK you need to be 17 years or older to start learning to drive. Whilst there is still much talk about raising the minimum driving age in the UK to 18, no changes have yet been made.

Eyesight for driving

Its well worth getting your eyesight tested before learning to drive. Reading of a car number plate from a minimum distance is essential if you want to pass your driving test. So if you normally wear contact lenses or glasses you must make sure you wear them when driving and when taking your driving test.

The current requirement for eyesight when driving is the ability to read an old style car number plate in daylight from a minimum distance of 20.5 meters. New style car number plates which were introduced in back in September 2001 you should be able to read from a distance of 20 meters.
