Here, you'll find a step by step on how to drive in Ireland
Step 1
The first step to drive in Ireland is to pass the driver theory test.
Step 2
When you pass your theory test, you should apply for a learner permit. A learner permit allows you to learn to drive on public roads in Ireland.
You cannot take driving lessons without a valid learner permit and, in most cases, you cannot take a driving test until you have had your first learner permit for at least 6 months.
Step 3
Under the RSA’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) scheme, you must complete 12 compulsory lessons with an RSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) before you can take a test. You should practice driving as much as possible on all types of roads and in all types of traffic situations with an ADI before arranging a test.
Step 4
Once you have completed your mandatory training of 12 lessons and learned how to drive safely and confidently, the next step is to apply for your driving test.
