    Right I'm planning on getting my provisional licence in a few weeks when I turn 17.
    I have my theory done 40/40 :D.
    What I'm not sure of is do I have to wait at least six months before I can take my driving test or is it once I have completed the 12 or 13 lessons.
    Is there any loop hole of doing the test a few weeks after getting your provisional.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    You really should read this link. Good luck with the test.

    There's a Learning to Drive forum.



    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=909
    From their FAQ

    10. What requirements do I have to fulfill before I can sit my driving test?

    You must wait six months from the issue date of your first learner permit before you can sit a driving test (although you may apply for your test in advance). This six-month wait will be waived for applicants who have held a full driving licence in another country for at least six months.

    If your first Category B learner permit was issued on or after 4 April 2011, you must also complete the Essential Driver Training (EDT) programme, which includes taking 12 mandatory driving lessons with an ADI and keeping a log of your accompanied practice with a sponsor. Drivers who hold full licences from other countries are not exempt from EDT.

    If your learner permit was issued before 4 April 2011, you are not required to complete the EDT programme.

    You must wait the 6 months AND do your 12 mandatory lessons before you can sit your test. There are no loopholes in your case.
