New Drivers Licence Query

    HI all..


    Currently I have a provisional licence, its out of date so at the moment. I want to do my drivers test in the next month.

    The way this is looking is, I have to renew my provisional to do the test, which cost 35euro, then If i pass my test this month another 55 for the full licence.

    A total of 90 euro ??

    Surely there has to be something here that I can do to avoid this ???

    Thanks

    And you'll also have to wait about a month before the permit is issued, never mind your licence...

    You apply for driving permit (which used to be called provisional licence), and it takes usually over a month before you get it.
    You can not take your driving test before you have it.

    Also you forgot to include cost of driving test in your calculations.

    I was talking to a few people today who said they only waited about 10 days and it came (Galway).

    Yeah I know the story with the cost of the test, but I'm saying I have to pay for two drivers licence within a month or 2 whichever ?

    I waited less than 7 days in Galway, but it was last year.
    This year printing of licences was taken over by RSA, and it takes more than a month anyway, if you are unlucky it might be 2 months.

    Driving is costly. Treat is a very cheap introduction to driving anyway.

    Waiting times depend on your local motor tax office.
