You can start driving lessons in Neath from age 17 (or 16 if you receive the enhanced rate of the mobility component of PIP). You'll need a valid provisional driving licence before your first lesson. You can apply for your provisional up to 3 months before your 17th birthday.

Learning in Neath has advantages — you'll build confidence in real driving conditions and be prepared for the roads you'll actually use after passing. Most instructors start on quieter streets and gradually introduce busier roads as your skills develop.

Most learners in Neath progress best with 1-2 lessons per week, each lasting 1-2 hours. This gives your brain time to consolidate what you've learned between sessions. Cramming too many lessons into a short period can lead to fatigue and slower progress for some learners.
