When you’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take test in your own car, but it has to fit the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons!
