theory test

[draper]

has anyone booked a theory test recently ? how early can you book one ? can you say book one a few months in advance ready for your 17th birthday ?

I think you have to give your provisional licence number.

[draper]

hmm, so what if you had a provisional but that wasnt valid untill a certain date (after a ban for instance) you should be able to book it for the day your license becomes valid, in theory, possibly

Not sure exactly but I think u can book as far in advance as u like - as long as u will be 17 when the test is booked for. U do need ur driving test number to book with tho.

[Prey]

Try booking one - if it has a prob with ur license number it will tell u.

I dont think you need a test number to book one. I see no reason why you cant book one a few months in advance.

[draper]

i suggested just booking one but just thought id ask first

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

You don't have to sit your theory in the closest test centre to you, you might get an earlier test in a centre further away. Something I'll be doing soon..........

I have a friend who is a driving instuctor, Hes told me your licence needs to be vaild and you have to be past your 17th Birthday before you can book and test.

bugger, looks like matey could be travelling a fair way to save a few weeks lol

i booked my theory a couple of weeks before i was 17, and that was over a year ago (18 months)

my nephew had a privisional licence for a tractor, passed his tractor test, he got his car provisional before his 17th birthday, his mum booked his theory test for his 17th birthday, i think it was booked about 6 weeks in advance. that was last month

a lad i know got his older brother to book one, then when he turned 17, they phones up cancelled his brothers thensaid but my other son wants to book one, and they put him in instead, quite a common way to go about it apparently could try that mate!
