If you decide to take a Provisional License, this means that you must display L plates at the front and back of the vehicle and you must always carry a front passenger who has a full driving license and is over 21 years of age, having held a full driving license for three years. The car must be registered, insured and taxed. The registration certificate will be given to you when you buy the car. You can get car insurance at most insurance companies. You will need at least Third Party Cover for your vehicle.
Prices can vary widely, so ask around before choosing a policy.
These prices apply to cars with engines over 1100cc. You must always display the tax license at the bottom left hand corner of the front windscreen. All passengers in cars must wear seatbelts. There are strict laws against drinking alcohol and driving. Do not drink and drive.
