What to Expect with ABC Driver Training - Driving Lessons in Nottingham

Getting Started

So you want to learn to drive? OK, the first thing you will need to do is to obtain a Provisional Licence. You can apply for the provisional licence when you are 16, but you are not allowed to drive a car on public roads until you are 17. For further details visit www.direct.gov.uk

'How long will it take me to pass my test?'
