If you want to get a UK full driving licence the first step is to get a provisional licence. You can apply online if you have a UK passport, alternatively you need to get a form from your local post office. The provisional licence usually arrives within 10-14 working days.

There are two test required to get your licence. The first, a theory test is in two parts. First comes the multiple choice questions of which there are 50 in total out of the question bank of 950 questions. You need to get 43 of the questions right to achieve a pass. This is then immediately followed by the hazard awareness test. This involves a number of video clips each lasting around 25 seconds and which require a click of the mouse when the hazard appears on the screen. If you fail one part of the test but pass the other you still need to take both parts of the test again. You can book the test at the official DSA website.

When you’ve passed the theory test you can then take your practical driving test. This is taken at a practical test centre with a Driving Standards Agency examiner and last for almost 40 minutes. However, before you take the test you should get some lessons with a proper fully qualified instructor. Only someone fully trained will be able to teach you everything you need to know to pass the test. All good instructors will follow the official DSA syllabus. Less than 50 per cent of test candidates pass the test and the cost is over £60. So it’s definitely not worth taking the test until you are definitely ready for it.

After you’ve passed your driving test you are still on probation – if you get 6 points on your licence, you will go back to learner driver status and will need to retake your test. More serious offences may require you to take an extended test.

As sayimg is drive slow and enjoy the scenery but drive fast and join the scenery. It is very important to practice safe driving habits from the very first drive lesson you get. However, enjoy the scenery while you’re driving is one form of “distracted driving” as well as texting while driving is, never mind whether you drive slow ir fast. You may face with such problem as:

Visual—taking your eyes off the road.
Manual—taking your hands off the wheel.
Cognitive—taking your mind off of what you’re doing.

As driving simulator study have shown, 40 participants with either 0.08 blood-alcohol level or using a cell phone—drivers using the cell phones:

Were slower to hit the brakes.
Displayed 24 percent more variation in following distance as their attention shifted between road and device.
Were 19 percent slower to resume normal speed after braking.
Were more likely to crash.

Driving a car is a serious business and no doubt every one who just begins to study need a help. There are many online sources offering wide range of help to both new and licensed drivers. If you are looking for a sample of test questions and rules of the road every driver needs to know you can find it online pretty easy. As to me I love www.drivingrules.net/anydriver.htm where you can learn practically all what you need to know about – from Intersections and Turns to Passing, Parking, Safe Driving Tips, Defensive Driving, Special Conditions to what to do in case You have an Accident and more useful things.

Also you find there such information as Driving with an Out-of-State Permits and Junior Licenses,Drivers From Other Nations, Non-US Residient Applicants, International Driving Permit, out-of-state license documents, a Drivers Manual in a foreign language and more.
