When Should I Start Learning To Drive?

When should you start learning to drive?

You can start learning to drive when you reach 17 years of age in the UK. However there are a large number of people who are opting to put that off until they are older for a number of different reasons. We would always recommend learning to drive as early as you can as it opens the door to a wide world of opportunities and potential freedom. 

At 4front driving school we understand that it does become harder to learn to drive the older you get because you have a lot less fear when you’re younger, which makes picking things up and learning from mistakes much easier when learning to drive. You are also more open to criticism at a younger age and will be more accepting to learn from mistakes.

However you are never to old to start. Be open minded, accept criticism, see it as constructive and develop a new skill that can be very rewarding. We are here to help you every step of the way whatever age you may be.

Do you want to learn to drive? What benefits will it bring to your life? How can we help you achieve you ambition or goal?

For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear.
