Can you book a driving test before the theory runs out?

I was wondering if it is possible to cancel a test I currently have booked, and book a practical in a few weeks time even though by when the practical is taken the theory would have expired?

If not, it seems like I will have to repay and retake my theory again, and rebook my practical.

your theory must be in date on the day you do your practical test, sorry!

The examiner will ask to see your theory pass certificate on the day of the test so I wouldn't have thought so.

Oh great! That answers my question.

Cant u postpone ur test online for the practical as long as its a certain time before?

My current test is booked for the morning on the 5th Aug, and my theory runs out on the 10th, and it looks like I cannot make the test on the 5th... So I am not sure what to do, it looks like the only resort is for me to retake my theory, hope I pass first time again, and then take the practical.

best bet is to keep ringing up to see if theres been any drop outs

Absolutely no way you can postpone whatever else you have to do on the 5th?

how did you do your theory and take TWO years to book a practical!!?

The theory isn't difficult either - although an additional cost in money and time you could just take it again.

Last minutes are always availabe - the centres are rarely full.

Norwich is mental, to get mine anywhere better than the 8week or so wait I had to sit there with 3sec autorefresh on and then literally click as soon as it came up. Reminded me of whack a mole for some reason
