A new way to get your licence

Since 20 November 2017, a few changes have come into effect, including rearranging of the tests you need to take to move through the licence stages, from learner to P1, P2 and then finally a full licence. The changes are making sure that P2 drivers are safe drivers, by adding an extra 6 months to your P2 licence if you get suspended for unsafe driving.
