Before
you
start
to
drive,
you
must:
- hold
a
valid,
provisional
driving
licence
for
Great
Britain
or
Northern
Ireland
- make
sure
that
any
vehicle
you
drive
is
roadworthy
and
properly
taxed
and
insured
It
is
important
to
learn
safe
driving
practice
from
the
beginning
of
your
driving
career
because
bad
habits
are
hard
to
break.
It
is
unlikely
that
anyone
except
an
approved
driving
instructor
(ADI)
would
have
the
experience,
knowledge
and
training
to
teach
you
properly.
Learning
safe
driving
habits
from
the
start
will
improve
the
safety
of
yourself
and
other
road
users.
If
you
want
to
practise
your
driving
with
an
accompanying
driver,
the
accompanying
driver
must
be
over
the
age
of
21
and
must
have
held
(and
still
hold)
a
full
licence
for
three
years.
As
a
learner
driver
you
must
display
'L'
plates
('L'
or
'D'
plates
in
Wales)
in
a
conspicuous
position
on
the
front
and
rear
of
the
vehicle
you
are
driving.
