The minimum age to start taking driving lessons is 17 years old or aged 16 if you are currently receiving disability allowance at the higher rate (mobility competent).
To start lessons you must have a provisional licence. You can apply for a provisional licence two months before your 17th birthday.
For more information on applying for your provisional licence you can obtain a D1 form from the post office or visit the DSA website (http://www.dsa.gov.uk/).
