Can One Take Driving Lessons At The Age Of
Sixteen?
Being able to drive a car is seen as a very huge
rite of passage in almost all countries. Once a
teenager reaches the age of 14 or 15, they start
pestering their parents about wanting to learn
how to drive. This is why most parents at this
age prefer to enroll their children in driving
lessons where they can get focused and
personalized one on one attention.
It has been observed that teens who learn how to
drive through driving schools are way more
professional and responsible as drivers, compared
to those who pick up the skill of driving from
random people.

The majority of driving students who enroll for
lessons fall between the age group of
15-18-year-olds, but the rule for driving
lessons shifts from one country to another. This
age group is tricky to deal with, so it makes the
most sense to leave it to the professionals when
it comes to teaching the basics as well as the
important stuff.

I want to start to learn how to drive what do
I need to do first?
Before you start to get into the car and turning
the steering wheel, hold up! Before you do so,
you must be sure to get your provisional driving
license. To apply for this type of license, you
need to be 17 years or older. Once you apply for
this and receive this license, you can start
learning how to drive. You must also stick a big
L on your car so that everyone who is on the road
is aware that you are a new learner. This not
only safeguards you but also others who are on
the road with you. Once you have the license you
need to start driving, you can drive at any time
of the day, daytime or nighttime. If you decide
to drive on motorways, you must be accompanied by
a professional driving instructor. The car you
are using to practice your driving must possess
dual controls as well. These are the certain
specifications you must keep in mind before you
start learning how to drive.

I am sixteen do I qualifyfor driving lessons?

No, you do not. In Ireland, you cannot apply for
driving lessons until you are 17 years old. At
National Driving School people can apply for
their provisional driving license and take as
many lessons as they please until they are
comfortable and confident of the fact that they
will be able to pass their driving test and get
their drivers license. A lot of emphases is
given on the small details which separate a good
driver from a great one. All the drivers
at National Driving School  are Approved Driving
Instructor (ADI) approved, which gives the
required credibility and also makes their
students feel more comfortable.

It also helps to know that if a student loses
control in the worst case scenario, a trained
professional would be able to control the
situation and make sure that no mishap takes
place.
