STAGE 1:

Get Your L -
Learners Written Training

Taking the online practice test gives you a good chance of passing the knowledge test and getting on the road with your learner’s licence. The questions are based on the real test (with some differences) so you'll know what to expect and can take the knowledge test with confidence.

STAGE 2:

Get Your L -

Learners Written Test

You can get your L on or after your 16th birthday. To get your L you’ll need to get 40 out of 50 questions right on a multiple-choice knowledge test. Passing it ensures you understand the rules of the road. It also means you’ve started thinking about safe driving behaviours before you start driving with a supervisor.
