    I'm guessing your 22 so by now you should of heard of the 'licence dealers'. You'll find them in a lot of cities. Theres 1 guy that sells them by the spire, you'll be looking at around €500

    There is no legal way of getting a licence without sitting a test. Just being curious here but why are you not bothered doing the test to get one?

    Why even bother buying one, just use someone elses.
    Hahaha

    /tip/ stick your picture on it too.

    Not cool, he might actually take that advice. OP you'll have to get your licence legally.

    Yes, you can buy a TV or Dog Licence without any tests. For most others you need to do some sort of test.

    Legally, no.

    Illegally, perhaps but if you get caught you could be convicted of using a false driving license.

    I think it is more likely than not that you would get caught, so it would be foolish to go down that road.

    Here's an example of someone who was caught:
    A CHINESE learner driver who was worried she'd be unable to drive unaccompanied following changes to the Irish driving licence system tried to swap a false Romanian driving licence for a full Irish licence.
    [...]
    Judge Gibbons said possession of a forged driving licence is a serious matter, with serious consequences.
    The judge ordered Sun to donate €1,000 to the local branch of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland and he struck the matter out

    Cost her €1,000 in the end which is less than what it would cost to get a license legally (not counting the costs of buying/taxing/insuring a car which is not necessary prior to getting a full license).
