Does my colleague need to take driving lessons?
Hi I am just wondering if a colleague of mine who has an Indian Driving license needs to complete driving lessons. He has just completed the driver theory test but is not sure if the lessons are compulsary. Please let me know if he needs to do the 9 or 10 lessons. Sandra
Our answer:
Hi Sandra,
Yes, I'm afraid so. On the NDLS website it clearly states:
'On taking up residence you must pass a driver theory test, apply for a learner permit, complete a course of Essential Driver Training (EDT), pass your driving test and apply for a full driving licence to drive in Ireland.'
