Streetwise Southampton

Information

1) Legally, to drive you must have one of the following:

Or, in certain circumstances:
  • A signed international Driving Permit (IDP)
  • A full licence issued outside the UK
You must also be able to read a number plate - the distance requirement for the eyesight test using old style number plates is 20.5 metres or 20 metres if the new-style number plate is used.

New-style number plates are easily identifiable starting with two letters eg AB 51 ABC. If you can only read a number plate using glasses/corrective lenses for the eyesight test, the law requires you wear them whenever you are driving.

You must be at least 17 years of age to drive a car. As an exception, if you’re receiving Disability Living Allowance, you are allowed to start driving at 16.
