Practical exam

You must be at least 18 years old to take the practical test. A road expert determines if you are driving safely and following properly the road rules without putting yourself or others in danger. However, since 2021 people under 20 years of age need to wait a year after passing the theoretical exam before registering for their practical test. People above 20 years of age do not fall under that requirement.
