Your First Provisional Driving Licence

When you can apply

You can apply for your first  provisional driving licence when you’re 15 years and 9 months old.

You can start driving when you’re:

• 17 if you want to drive a car
• 16 if you want to ride a moped or light quad bike

Your licence will say when you can start driving different vehicles.
