You can apply for your provisional a year early? When my sister applied for hers the maximum time you could apply to as when you would turn 17 was two months.

[Spotted]

Actually you can get a provisional driving licence from 2 months before yout 16th birthday and up.

You can ride a 50cc motorbike or a tractor when you turn 16, and when you turn 17 you can then drive a car.

Do be serious lol they only cost £40 to apply for.

Think about what your saying, to get the license costs more then your car lmao.

Also, you can ride a motorbike at 16 (50cc and below)

You can drive at 17.

[GommeInc]

And if you are disabled (or something like that), you can drive at 16 I believe? I'll have a look at that to see if I mis-read.

[brandon]

lol. I thought that was a moped at 16 not a motorbike?

You can drive a scooter/moped or a motorbike that is 50cc or less, a good example of a well known 50cc motorbike is the Aprillia RS50

[:Firefox]

Yup - It's a 50cc motorbike ;)
