Anyone know how long it takes for the licence to arrive? Got a text on Tuesday saying it had been dispatched, so i assumed it would have arrived today, but still no sign of it. Is it sent by courier, or regular post? Have everything else ready now, so just annoying waiting for the bloody licence :P

Mine came 4 days after receiving the text, and for some people it's taken as long as a week. This was back in April, though.

I think that the text is sent out as soon as the post is placed in "outgoing" by NDLS. It may not be physically out the door until a while later. This is pure speculation of course.

I understand the feeling of checking the postbox every evening after getting the text, only to find it empty. Hope you get it by tomorrow. It's gonna be a long weekend for you otherwise.

Nope, guess it's Monday before i can drive

I was surprised about how long I waited for mine too, but I’m afraid I just drove unaccompanied and hoped that if I was stopped by a Garda that he’d be sympathetic. Of course I wasn’t stopped and haven’t encountered a checkpoint since I passed my test in July.

Nevermind, it just arrived

I'm off driving for a few hours now!

Mind how you go!!

Passed the test on the third go last Wednesday with 6 faults. First was too early and was over compensating the second time round from my faults on the first.

Passed today on my second attempt with 4 Grade 2s, beyond delighted

There was bins right on the corner that I had to reverse around so I had to go around them and the tester said, in a lighthearted manner "unfortunately, you dont get bonus points for reversing around those bins", it put me at total ease for the rest of the test, especially as I failed on the reverse last time!

I went straight to the NDLS after and applied for my licence! Keep at it is all I can say, I have dyspraxia so my spatial awareness can be absolutely awful at times so I genuinely never thought that I'd be able to drive, so so happy now! It's all worth it

My son passed yesterday after a good few tempts with a tester he had once before, thought he made alot more mistakes this time then any other, delighted for him ,he was ready to give up.

Delighted to hear that Scoop! Good for him !

Passed this morning in Naas second time. Being told you passed is such an unbelievable feeling. I felt like I was going to cry with happiness.

Passed first time in Mulhuddart this morning. Absolutely delighted with myself. Can't believe it. I think he said I had two grade twos but I haven't got my email yet so not one hundred percent he ticked traffic signs on the feedback sheet.

ETA: 3 grade twos, 2 for traffic signals and 1 for Rules/Checks and 2 grade one's, 1 for hand signals and 1 for gears.
