Important Information
You can learn to drive and pass the test at the age of 17.
Before you receive your driving license, a provisional one grants permission to drive on any UK roads besides motorways. For safety purposes though, it is required that you are supervised by an approved instructor or another driver with at least three years of full-driving experience who is 21 and over. Notably, when attending the theory and practical exams as well as initial lessons, the provisional driving licence must be presented. You can apply for a provisional driving licence at the age of 15 years and 9 months.
In exceptional circumstances, you can drive at the age of 16 if you are in receipt of, or have applied for, the enhanced rate of the mobility component of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
In order to be able to drive a car and hold a driving licence, you must meet certain conditions, including in terms of your health.
As far as your eyesight is concerned, you must be able to read (with glasses or contact lenses if necessary) from a distance of 20 metres the registration plate of a car manufactured after 1 September 2001 and have a visual acuity of at least decimal 0.5 (6/12) measured on the Snellen scale.
If you face another health problem, you can check whether you need to inform the DVLA about it. The link can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/health-conditions-and-driving/find-condition-a-to-z
It is essential to remember that you could be fined up to £1,000 if you fail to inform the DVLA about a health condition that affects your driving.
