    hiya, im on my 4th provisional and its out in august, so im going to apply for my test this week as soon as i have the spare cash, im hoping to get a test soon, but what happens if my license runs out in the meantime?? do i have to take the theory test again before i can renew my provisional??

    ive been having lessons the last year but i just cant afford anymore so the whole thing is stressing me out, i drive an auto and am learning manual, i dont have a manual car to practise in..so maybe i should just take the test in my own car, pass it and then start again with manual later on??? any help or advice welcome!!

    pearl jam fan you should do the test in manual because thats what you have been learning in! If you do it in your auto then you wont be able to drive any manual car in the future whereas if you do the test in manual you will be able to drive both auto and manual. If your provisional runs out you need to get a new one because you need to present a valid provisional to the tester on the day of the test! You should ask you driving instructor aswell, im sure he/she would know these things.

    As is generally agreed, it is better to have the manual licence. But any full licence is better then a provisional (learner permit). If you can't practice in a manual, practice in the automatic. If you think you would fail in the amnual and pass in the auto, sit the test in the auto.
