RATED: Driving Tests of the World
UK DRIVING TEST
Legal Age: 17
RED Rating: 4/5
At the age of 16 you can apply for a provisional licence but you have to wait until the age of 17 to start taking driving lessons. A provisional licence allows you to drive accompanied by a driver who’s aged 21 or older with plates showing L on the car. After the age of 17, you start driving lessons and are required to pass a theory test. After passing the theory test, you have two years to learn driving and pass a practical test. You are issued a full driving licence after passing the practical test. 47% percent of the applicants pass the practical test and obtain a full licence every year.
I don’t really know about other cities but in Karachi, people usually bribe or hire an agent for themselves which completes the process himself while you sit on a chair or couch and yawn and you only bother yourself for a picture for the card.
