just go into a bsm centre thingy and ask them, sort out your lessons for when your 17 so you've got the ball rolling so to speak.

i booked mine before I was 17 and did it 2 days afterwards. walked out after about 5-10mins totally confused and sh:tting my pants for the next 2 weeks as I thought id missed some pages out! I got full marks though!

no real rush IMO a week or two on the theory won't make you pass any quicker.

Yes you can mate i took myn at 16

but you can only learn to drive legally at the age of 17 unless your disabled!

And you need more than 12 lessons to go for a test nowadays

Unless you know a instructor that will take the risk and will teach you at 16
