Driving and vehicles

Study note

To drive a car or motorcycle in the UK you must be at least 17, hold a driving licence and pass a driving test. Vehicles must be taxed and insured, and a car over three years old must pass a yearly MOT test to check that it is roadworthy.

Memory tip: Drive at 17 with a licence; cars need tax, insurance and (if over 3 years) an annual MOT.
