    I have a full **car** drivers license for the past 4 years and now im looking to get bike licence (provisional for the first while). What im wondering is can I just go to the tax office and ask to have it added to my existing licence or do I have to go do the theory test etc.

    Any info is much appreciated.

    Not only do you have to do your theory test but you also have to do a 16 hour IBT (initial bike training) course. I did it 2 weeks ago, and too be honest im glad i did because it was so helpful but costs over 500 euro

    I was hoping I wouldn't hear that. How long did the traing course take to do?

    To be honest , this IBT course has made it too expensive for me to take up biking.

    So let me get this right, You cant even et a provisional until you do this course?

    The course was 2 full days.

    sorry you can get your provisional by passing the theory test, and are legally allowed to bike around but you have to do the course before you apply for your test. So if you know how to ride a bike you could but it off for a bit but if you dont and have to get lessons anyway you should do the course after you pass your theory.

    but you have to do the course before you apply for your test

    That's incorrect, The ibt has to be done before you are allowed on the road by yourself not before your test.
