Waiting Times As a result of Covid measures, our capacity to undertake driving tests, at pre-Covid 19 levels, has reduced. A s a result of Covid restrictions, given the demand for driving tests and in the interests of fairness, for the foreseeable future we are prioritising customers in order of application date as well as applications from essential workers.
We are working to meet the requirements of our customers and to this end we only have a short notice facility available to us on a limited basis. What is it First-time learner permit holders in certain categories must wait six months after the date of issue of the particular licence category before they can sit their driving test. In the past, some people took the test shortly after getting their first learner permit and research has shown that the more practice and experience a person gets, the better a driver they become.
This is particularly important if you have added a licence category to your permit as it is the date the category was added that is relevant not the date that your permit was issued. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have checked your permit details and that you are eligible to sit the test. If you apply and turn up to sit your test and you are not eligible then you will lose your fee and have to re apply.
Who does it apply to: It applies to first-time learner permit holders for:.

Why was it introduced? Research shows that the longer a learner is supervised while driving, the less likely they are to be involved in a collision.
