How does licensing work in the Uk?

Here in Canada, at least in the province of British Columbia, we have a graduated licensing program. At 16 we can apply for our Learners permit (Red L magnet) by passing a multiple choice test on road safety/rules. With our Learners we must have a 25 year old + supervising us in car. After having our Learners for a year we can then take a road test with a grader who marks our performance on the road. If we pass that we then receive our Novice permit (little green N magnet for the bumper). There are some restrictions like only one passenger, no alcohol, etc. After 2 years we can then take a final test to get our full license. Quite a process, eh?

Provisional means you can drive the car when insured and supervised by someone over 21 years with a full licence held for minimum 3 years
Full licence is whenever you pass your test which you can do whenever, but you have to pass a theory test then the practical

I was fine with using my passport but my parents weren't so they told me to apply for a provisional.

i started to get worried around holiday time, cos it takes up to 6 months to get a replacement!! I'm usually quite responsible but sometimes when I get realyl drunk I tend to black out so i'd prefer not to have that responsibility
