Passing the driving test
One of the main aims of this website is to help the learner driver prepare for the Department of transport driving test so that he or she will be both proficient and confident when the time comes to actually take it.
Driver testing in Ireland is carried out directly by the Department of Transport to a standard that complies with the EU Directive on Driving Licenses. There are 54 test centers throughout the country with waiting times ranging from 20 to 55 weeks depending on the area you choose.
A driving test is a compulsory requirement for motorists who have been issued with two 2-year provisional driving licences. It's important to be aware that you may not apply for a third or subsequent provisional licence for any category of vehicle unless you undergo a driving test. The waiting times vary from county to county; so it is advisable to apply for a test about 10 months before your second provisional licence is due to expire. It is a set standard test and all test centers use the same testing procedures
