Obtaining a driver's license in Australia involves several stages, starting with passing a theory test known as the Driver's Knowledge Test (DKT). After passing the DKT, learners must complete 120 hours of driving, including 20 night hours, under supervision. Once the learner progresses through provisional licenses (P1 and P2), they can obtain a permanent license after two years, emphasizing the importance of strict adherence to driving rules to minimize risks.

2. Getting a drivers licence in Australia is
not an easy task. It may take many
years!
The safer drivers course is designed to
make the process of obtaining a driver’s
licence relatively less difficult.

3. A candidate wanting to get a driver’s
licence must initially pass a practice
theory test on road rules known as
drivers knowledge test –DKT.

5. The Safer Drivers Course NSW has a
handbook and practice available for
this.
There are many sites online which offer
practice for the candidate.

6. To pass the DKT practice is given at
another practice testing location so that
the applicant knows road rules
thoroughly generally guidance is taken
from driving schools like onroad driving
school, which have enough practice to
ensure that their client gets the licence
at the first go .

7. Once the DKT test is passed, the
candidate is now a learner.
He also receives a learners handbook/
log book to record his total driving
hours.

8. He is allowed to drive in declaring areas
with the vehicle bearing a yellow plate
of the size specified according to rules,
with a black L printed on their car roof
plates.

10. The learner is to complete 120 hours of
driving including 20 hours of night
driving.
The learner can now drive with
supervisor, but at limited speed, zero
alcohol and not more than 4 d- merit
points.

11. The best way to avoid D merit points to
drive under a Qualified supervisor.
There is added advantage if done under
trained supervision.

12. onroad.com.au provides very
experienced supervisors at very
reasonable rates.
The advantage of using an instructor is
that one hour of driving with an
instructor is equivalent to 3 driving
hours.

13. The hours of driving are recorded in a
learners log book.
On completing this stage the learner
gets his red or P1 that is first provisional
licence.

14. He can now drive with a white plate of
the size specified according to the
rules, bearing a red P on the vehicle
roof.
The provisional license holder or the P
1 holder goes to the next Stage.

16. For getting green P2 the driver has to
be careful that he gets no more than 8
D merit points or he/she has to begin
all over again as licence will be
cancelled.

17. The penalties are heavy.
According to the rules the license
holder can carry one adult passenger
along with or without the supervisor, but
having a trained supervisor has an
added advantage.

18. On completing this stage the P 1 holder gets
his green or P2 that is the second provisional
license.
He can now drive with a white plate bearing a
green P on the vehicle roof.
The final license is obtained after 2 years of
holding p2 licence.

20. Getting a permanent licence comes along
with great responsibility.
Being a full fledged driver means a driver
who knows his duties, rules and follows
them strictly so as to minimize road
hazards and risks.

21. Going through this long procedure of
procuring a permanent license, practice
tests are gaining popularity.
The Best deals for these can be found
with top driving schools like On road
driving school. Happy driving ! All the
best!
