Learner permit and 6 months wait to apply for test

    hi, I've had 5 provisionals over the years. After nearly a ten year gap during the recession I applied for a leaner permit, took the mandatory 12 lessons and recently let it expire without taking a test. I now need to get a van on the road for a new business and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to speed up the process of taking a test.

    TIA

    You can see if there are any cancellations or it's quicker in another area.
    Just don't drive on your own

    When did you last have a provisional (during the recession 2009?) if so it is the same as me - I let it lapse (after doing test) for 8 years and I had to start all over again do the theory test and now take the lessons and wait the 6 months -

    Quick call to the RSA quoting your driver number (should be on your last provisional) will tell you more.
