Full License Test waiting period for Tallaght

anonymousjunkie

Anyone know how long it takes for the test to take place if you booked in Tallaght? I know you can look up the drivingtest website for a list of waiting times, but not sure if thats cars or bikes? Problem I have is that I booked the test a week or so ago as soon as I got the provisional only to realise that I had to wait 6 months before I could sit it. If I get a testing date can I ask them to defer it until I'm eligible or will I just get thrown back to the end of the queue for test applicants? Any info ,insight or advice appreciated

Had to do mine twice to get it and on both occasions 6 months was the approx. wait for the test.

Hmm... I was thinking of waiting until I'd done the test and hopefully gained a full license before buying a bike, might just go ahead and buy one now, take the hit on the insurance for only having a provisional license and get the experience in before the test date eventually comes around

You won't save much on insurance with a full license. I only got €100 back when I passed a few years ago. Get training and use a bike you'll be cold and wet this time of year but happy.

Yet another reason to just get on with it so, and before the M50 finally sucks the life out of me ... its close

i got offered 100 back too which i thought was rubbish, so i switched insurer and i went from TPO to fully comp (on a bigger bike) for less.

I recommend lessons or at least a pretest. It will really help your riding.
