theory test

[eggcup5]

Hi I'm 16 years old, it is possible to take a theory test for a car whilest im 16 (like you do when you have a moped), or do I have to wait till I'm 17?
thanks

"You can take your theory test once your provisional licence becomes valid.

Normally, for car drivers, the earliest date your provisional licence can become valid is your 17th birthday, however you can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday.

So, if you apply for your provisional licence before you are 17 you will still have to wait until your birthday before you can take your theory test."

Hi,

No, You have to wait until your 17th birthday. But you can apply for your Provisional Licence before 3 months of your 17th Birthday . If you apply for your provisional licence before you are 17th birthday you will still have to wait until your birthday. You can apply to take your theory test once you have received your Licence but you cannot sit it until you are 17th years

Hope this will help.
