If you are 17 years of age or older, you are eligible to attempt the Driving Test if you have logged at least 120 hours driving time (which includes a minimum of 20 hours of night driving) and have held your learner licence for at least 12 months. See the Learner licence section for more information about the requirements of the learner licence.
Note: drivers aged 25 years and over are exempt from the 12 month tenure and log book requirements.
You will need to book for the Driving Test by calling the RTA on 13 22 13 or booking online at myTests on this website.
If you pass, you will be issued a P1 driver licence. You can attempt the Driving Test in any type of light vehicle, however, you will be restricted from driving certain prohibited vehicles when a P1 driver licence is issued. For more information see the sections on P1 and P2 vehicle and passenger conditions and Learner licence for exemptions from the 120 hours log book requirements.
