On the application form the second option down was to apply for a provisional to drive a CAR at 16 !I phoned DVLA to find out what that was about as I thought you has to be 17 for a car, they told me that if he has a medical condition and get the higher rate of mobility, then yes he can apply for the CAR Licence at 16, So I applied for it for him and send off the letters of proof they asked for.Then this morning his first ever provisional arrived by post, He has been given the 50cc scooter licence and the CAR to drive at 16. so now I can start giving him lessons (well next month on his 16th birthday anyway)So my question is, has anyone else done this for their child and what insurance company did you use to get insurance on his own car in his own name ?This is for a bog standard car with no modifications.RegardsEliminator</blockquote>
