Hi

so my provisional expired more than 5 years ago which means I have to do the theory test again. i redone the theory a few days ago and passed it so im fine with that . what im confused about is whether im renewing my licence or starting from scratch . am i right in saying because my provisional is over 5 years old i am effectively starting again on my 1st licence.

if im starting from licence no 1 again, i will have to get an eyesight report & medical report again which is just an extra cost i don't need

sorry if this is dumb question ,but im easily confused :pac:

Thanks

You're starting from scratch OP. You'll have to get an eyesight report, Medical (if applicable) not to mention you'll have to do the 12 EDT lessons before you can take a driving test.

Shop around for your eye test. Most high street opticians shops will do it for 20-25 quid.
