The requirements are as follows:
You must be 18 years old and above (based on the date of birth)
Pass both eyesight, and colour blindness tests.
Physically and mentally fit.
Must not accumulate more than 12 demerit points under the Driver Improvement Points System (DIPS).
Must not have any class (es) of Qualified Driving Licence / Provisional Driving Licence under revocation, disqualification or suspension.
If you have any serious traffic offences pending against you, you are advised not to apply for a licence. This is because if the court eventually disqualifies you from holding or obtaining a driving licence, the disqualification could be for all licence classes, including any newly acquired licence.
Suppose you have been awarded more than 12 demerit points, or have cases pending against you which will make you liable to be awarded a total of more than 12 demerit points. In that case, you will not be allowed to take a theory/ practical driving test.
New driver who has two cases of not displaying a distinguishing mark (triangular sign) against them, whether the cases are concluded or otherwise, will not be allowed to take a theory/ practical driving test.
