BE Licience 6 month wait ?

JimmyTee

Just received my BE Learner permit, I noticed it has the code 991 (holder of the learner permit cannot sit their driving test until on or after six months after the date of issue of the category)

Does anyone know for sure that I must still wait the 6 months before sitting the test, even having held a full category B for years.

Ndls and Rsa websites do not say specifically

Important Information when issued with a Learner Permit and you wish to sit a driving test

If you are granted a learner permit for vehicles in licence categories B, A, A2, A1, AM and W and have not held a learner permit in the previous five years, you must wait a period of six months before being able to sit a driving test. First time learner permit holders must complete Essential Driver Training (EDT) or Initial Basic Training (IBT) before sitting the driving test.

991 means it's your first Permit in that category. You don't have to wait or do EDT, just do as many lessons as you feel you need (if any) and go do your test.
