    Hi guys.
    Doing some online reading but heard conflicting reports from people. So just thought I would ask this here.

    Got my first provisional license way back when in 2008. Never did driving test for full license.
    Got second provisional in 2013. Did 12 EDT lessons, but again, didn't do the test.

    Now I hear to get my third provisional license I have to book for driver's test in advance to get provisional. Is that the case?

    Or, is it because first license was in 2008 that doesn't carry over?

    Any replies appreciated. I keep hearing different reports.

    to get a third permit you must have either taken and failed the test in the previous 2 years or provide evidence of having applied for a test or have an upcoming test date.

    If your most recent provisional/permit is expired over 5 years, you will have to start again from scratch- EDT lessons, theory test etc.
    Essentially you will go back to being a first permit holder.

    If your last provisional expired in 2015 then unfortunately you will have to resit your theory test and undertake the EDT lessons before you are able to sit the driving test.v
