3. Take out Learner Driver Insurance
Note: If you take driving lessons with an instructor you do NOT need car insurance, as you will already be covered under your instructor's policy. However, if you plan to get some extra driving practice in with your parents or in a friend's car then you will need to take out learner driver insurance, which provides cover for provisional licence holders learning to drive. 
Rules for Learning to Drive & Learner Driver Insurance rules
Once you have your provisional driving licence and learner driver insurance then you're pretty much set to start learning to drive. Here's the rules for learning to drive along with some learner driver insurance rules to remember: -
- You must always be supervised when you’re learning to drive a car. This can either be by a driving instructor or someone else who meets the rules, for example, family or friends, but they must be (a) over 21 years, (b) be qualified to drive the type of car you want to learn in, for example, they must have a manual car licence if they’re supervising you in a manual car, and (c) they must have held their full driving licence for three (3) years. They must also (d) not be intoxicated, and (e) must sit in the front passenger seat.
If you drive without the right supervision, you can be fined up to £1,000 and you can receive up to six (6) penalty points on your provisional licence.
- The car you learn in must display L plates on the front and back of your car (you can use D plates in Wales). You can receive up to 6 penalty points if you don't display an L plate. Once you've passed your driving test, you can replace your L plates with P plates.
- Legally, you can drive at any time, day and night. However, the insurer may restrict driving times, for example, driving only between 06:00 - 22:00. Check your if there is a curfew.
- Speed limits when driving with ‘L’ plates in England, Scotland and Wales are the same as when you’ve passed your test. In Northern Ireland the speed limit is 45 miles per hour when you’re learning to drive a car.
- You can only drive on a motorway if you’re with (a) an approved driving instructor (ADI), (b) the car is fitted with dual controls, and (c) you’re driving in England, Scotland or Wales.

Hazard Perception Test
Part of the DVSA theory exam also includes the Hazard Perception test. It requires you to view fourteen (14) hazard video clips on the computer screen, each approximately one (1) minute each. The clips feature everyday road scenes and contain at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards. A developing hazard is something that may result in you having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction and what you need to do is identify these as early as possible to get as high a score as possible (max 5 points per clip).
To practice hazard perception use The official DVSA guide to hazard perception; it's available on DVD-ROM.
The Official DVSA Guide to Hazard Perception
The Official DVSA Guide to Hazard Perception theory test book for car drivers has been compiled by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). It contains multiple choice questions from the whole theory test question bank, with answers and explanations, dealing with topics such as: alertness and attitude, vehicle safety and handling, safety margins, hazard awareness, vulnerable road users, motorway rules and rules of the road, road and traffic signs, documents, accidents, and vehicle loading.
