The new Victorian Drive Test has been developed to assess the safe driving behaviours expected of learner drivers who have accrued at least 120 hours of driving experience in a range of driving situations.
Licence applicants who pass the new test will have demonstrated that they can drive safely and legally in the day-to-day driving activities assessed in the test.
If you can tick all of the items in the following checklist, you are ready to attempt the test. This checklist is a guide only and is not exhaustive. Unsafe driving errors and illegal behaviours are treated seriously in the new test, and it is possible for a well-prepared learner to fail the test if they are unable to demonstrate the required safe, legal driving behaviours during the test. You should also ensure you can tick all the goals in the VicRoads Guide for Learners, which is part of the Learner Kit.
