Driving Before 17

[Slowpoke]

I got a Ford Fiesta Lx, T reg, 1.3, spoiler, alloy wheels. I'm the car owner and all that crap and my insurance was only £803. I'm 17 and it's with Quinn Direct or something like that.

That's not your own policy, surely? You must just be a named driver? (you can still be car owner)

And tbh Alex, you should just learn the official ways, the more responsive you are at learning the quicker you get to take your test.

Just to make it clear though, you cannot under any circumstances (unless you have a disability) drive a car on the roads before your 17th birthday.

Someone said earlier that you can start learning 3 months before your birthday.

They are wrong, you can apply for your provisional license three months before you are seventeen, but you cannot drive on the roads with it until you are seventeen.

To be fair you prob could apply and get your provisional and drive and the instructor woulnt realise, my instructor didnt even ask to see my licence

Ahh ok. i see. So on my 17th birthday i will have my provisional license so i can start lessons straight away?

[Hecktix]

Yep, that's why they let you apply for it before, so you can start driving immediately on your seventeenth birthday.

I see i see. Thanks. +Rep

It's my own policy, I honestly don't know why it's so cheap. I have to pay another £107 when I pass my test.
