    hi ive been asking around with people i know and noone seems to have a definite assurance of what i need answered. I first passed my theory test back in 2010.. but i did not send away for my licence until may 2011... the whole EDT lessons came into play in april 2011.. but really what i want to know is, do i have to do the whole 12 hours edt lessons or can i be exempt from it since i passed my teory test before the law? some people say i dont need to do them... others say i do... PLEASE HELP!!!! thanks

    You do need to do the EDT lessons as they apply to anyone who has received their first learner permit on or after 4th April 2011.

    so it has nothing to do with the theory test? just once you had the licence after the 4th of april you'd have to sit the EDT?

    The theory test doesn't affect it, it is only the date of issue of the learner permit which is printed onto the licence, so it's after 4th April 2011 then you need to do the EDT

    Yes, only the first learner permit issued after 4th April 2011 is affected.
