As a learner driver, you’ll be on a provisional driving licence. This means that there are some things you can’t do, compared to a full licence holder. These include:
Driving without supervision – the accompanying driver must be over 21, fit to drive, and have held a licence for at least three years
Driving on motorways – unless you’re with an approved instructor and the car is fitted with dual controls
Driving without ‘L’ plates – by law, ‘L’ plates must be displayed at the front and back of the vehicle whenever you are driving.
