Can you have driving lessons before you take your theory test?

Provided you have a valid provisional licence, you can start your driving lessons before you take your theory test.  If you don’t already have a provisional licence you will need to apply for one from the DVLA.

Thus combining your theory study with the early part of your driving course, this can be beneficial to a learner driver as it may help you understand the questions better, your instructor will also be at hand to guide you which will help with the learning process.
