In the UK, you cannot drive on public roads immediately after passing your theory test. The theory test is only one part of the overall driving process. Here’s what you need to know:
Pass Your Practical Driving Test: To legally drive on the road, you must also pass your practical driving test. The practical test assesses your driving skills and ensures that you can safely operate a vehicle.
Provisional License: If you hold a provisional driving license, you can practice driving on public roads, but you must be accompanied by a qualified driver (at least 21 years old and with a full driving license for the type of vehicle you are driving).
After Passing Both Tests: Once you pass both your theory and practical tests, you can drive on your own without any restrictions.
Learning Period: Many learners take driving lessons and practice with a qualified instructor to prepare for their practical test.
In summary, you need to pass your practical test to drive legally on the road, even if you have passed your theory test.
