Provisional Driving License

Who can obtain one

Eligibility for a learner's driving licence depends on your age and the vehicle category:

• Age 17: You can obtain a learner's licence for Category AM (Moped).
• Age 17.5: You can obtain a learner's licence for Category B (Car) and Category A1 (Light Motorcycle).

This learner's licence allows you to start taking lessons at our school to obtain your regular driving licence.

The first step to obtaining a learner's driving licence is to read the Traffic Code, which contains everything you need to know (traffic signs, rules of the road, questions and answers for the theoretical part of the exam).

In order to better prepare for obtaining a learner's driving licence, our school provides theoretical lessons on road safety, car and motorcycle mechanics, and the Traffic Code.
