| Getting Your "L" Plates |
| As a learner driver, you have to display 'L' plates ('L' or 'D' plates in Wales) in a highly visible place on the front and back of the vehicle you're driving. And until the day you pass the practical part of the driving test you'll have to display these and drive with someone who has passed their test (full details below). 'L' plates have to conform to a legal specification, so make sure you buy them rather than making your own. Whenever the vehicle isn't driven by a learner, you should take off the plates or cover them (except on driving school vehicles). |

| Once you’ve started your lessons, ask your instructor for advice about practising your driving between lessons. Remember, until the day you pass the practical part of the driving test, you’re not allowed to drive on your own. Practising with a friend or relative is a great idea, but they must be over 21 years old and have held a full British driving licence for at least 3 years. It’s also important to know that only instructors who are licensed by the DSA (approved and part qualified instructors) are allowed to charge for giving driving lessons or accompanying a driver. No one else is allowed to charge for this. |
