WOW !
In the UK, there is NO minimum training times.
You apply for a test when you want to - minimum age 17 ( 16 in Isle of Man )
You have to pass a theory ( easy ) and then a 30 minute driving test with an examiner.
There is no legal requirement to have undertaken ANY training !
Then you get to drive with NO 'L' plates and you're treated the same as every other driver on the road.
Scary huh
