Gold Medal Driving School you need to have a driving licence.
The following information will help you to apply for your Driving Licence.
In the UK the age that you can legally begin to drive is 17 years old. This means that from the age of 17 you can legally learn to drive and even take a driving theory and practical test.
You are able to obtain your provisional driving licence ready for your 17th Birthday and you can do that in one of two ways.
