If you've passed a driving test you can drive on your test pass certificate until you get your proper licence through.
I believe the Army won't let you drive their vehicles though. At least they wouldn't let me drive a minibus until my new licence came through even though I'd been taught by the same regiment and been tested by an Army examiner. That might have just been our MT SSgt being a jobsworth though.

So you have a piece of paper that certifies that you've passed your test?

Have you passed a test with a properly accredited driving examiner? Yes you have. You have an official document from that examiner saying you've passed. Why wouldn't they accept it? Originally Posted by 3942FAB

As jbm said...or even better, pop down to your D&M wing and ask there, or the RMTO's, or the Training Wing!
The harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry and in fact all the arms, lean on the Gunners - Field Marshal Montgomery.

Safest bet is to wait until you get a licence issued. I seem to recall that if the paperwork doesn't get presented in time then you effectively haven't got a licence.

Ask where your pass cert went. It's quite likely that they sent it off on your behalf. In which case you should get a licence sometime soon. Originally Posted by 3942FAB Electronic copy. Signed on the original...

Has the Test report got any explanatory notes on it? Originally Posted by 3942FAB
