Not sure what you can and can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do before booking a theory test online? Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s help you out\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What you CAN do before booking a theory test online<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can start having driving lessons before booking a theory test online, provided you have your valid provisional driving licence. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no requirement for you to make a <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\">theory test booking<\/a><\/strong> before hiring a driving instructor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In fact, lessons will help you understand driving theory so when you feel ready, and on your driving instructor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s advice, you can be confident that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the right time for you to make an online theory test booking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can book a theory test online on your 17<sup>th<\/sup> birthday. Why 17? That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the earliest date your provisional driving licence will become valid. While you can apply for your provisional licence up to three months prior to your 17<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not allowed to book a DVSA theory test until the day you turn 17.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For a moped, booking a theory test online can be done when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re 16, provided you have a valid provisional licence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can study driving theory before your online theory test booking. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no rule that says you can only study once you have applied to take the exam, so get a head start and read the <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/?page=code\">Highway Code<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can make an online theory test booking at a test centre anywhere in Great Britain or Northern Ireland, provided you have a valid provisional driving licence. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not restricted to the area that you live. If waiting times for a theory test in your area don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t suit your schedule, you can take one in the next town or city.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What you CAN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T do before booking a theory test online <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For ANY vehicle category, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t book a driving theory test without a valid provisional driving licence for the category in which you want to take the theory exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make a theory test booking for a car and take a motorcycle theory test. If you want to ride a motorcycle you must <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\">book a motorcycle theory test<\/a><\/strong> as the test questions for riding a motorcycle are different to the test questions for a car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot book a DVSA practical test before making an online theory test booking. You must book and then pass a driving theory test in order to take your practical driving exam. You will need to provide your theory test pass certificate number. No theory test certificate, no practical driving test booking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, when it comes to driving lessons, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to have a theory test date set as it adds pressure to be ready by a set date and because everyone learns at a different pace it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just not practical to force learners to book a theory test before they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ready. Take your time and when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ready, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Booking a theory test online?
