What the driving test involves and what you need in order to sit the test.
The national average waiting time for a driving test is currently 5.6 weeks.
There has never been a better time to apply for and sit your driving test. If you have selected the short notice option on your application please make sure that you have completed all of your 12 EDT (Essential Driver Training) lessons and that you are available when we call you.
Please be aware that you may receive your test appointment in as little as 1 to 2 weeks of making your application. This will usually give you 4 to 5 weeks’ notice of the test. Please note you may be able to select your own date and time during the application process.
