Before you can start your Learn With Bill Driving Lessons you must have a Provisional Driving Licence. If you do not have a Provisional Driving Licence you will need to apply for one from the DVLA or you can obtain a Provisional Driving Licence application form from your local Post Office.
You can apply for your Provisional Car Driving Licence up Two Months before your seventeenth birthday and your Provisional Driving Licence becomes valid on your seventeenth birthday.
When you receive your provisional driving licence please keep both parts [photocard part and paper section] together and in a safe location. In order to sit your theory test and practical driving test you will need to take both parts of your provisional driving licence to the test centres.
The DVLA will aim to deliver your provisional driving licence to you within Two Weeks of receiving your application. It will take longer if your health or personal details have to be checked.
When your licence is issued it will have a number of added security features. One of the main differences being a laser engraved black and white photograph. You must wait for your new licence to arrive before sitting your theory test and beginning your driving lessons.
You must be able to read an old-style number plate in good daylight from a distance of 20.5 metres [that's 67 feet, or about five car lengths]. The distance for the new-style number plates introduced in September 2001 is 20 metres [66 feet], failure to read the number plate at the required distance will result in no test been conducted, your test fee will also be forfeited.
If you wear glasses or contact lenses make sure you always wear them when driving. You can still apply for a provisional driving licence if you are currently suffering from, or have previously suffered from a disability or illness that may affect your ability to drive but you must declare it to the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency [DVLA] for review first.
We feel that this is a waste of your time and more importantly a waste of your money. This type of training maybe fun at the time but has no real advantage to you as you cannot drive on the road. What you learn off road can be taught within a few lessons of proper on road training.
Do enjoy learning to drive, it is an exciting experience. You will not just learn a new skill, but you will gain a Full UK Driving Licence something that will change your life in so many ways.
