You must obtain a NSW Learner Licence before
you can learn to drive. |
| |
|
|
Minimum age to apply for a learner licence
is 16 years. |
| |
|
|
To obtain a Learner Licence you need to pass a Driver
Knowledge Test (DKT) and an eyesight test. |
| |
|
|
The DKT is a computer based road rules knowledge
test. You have to answer 45 questions, and to pass you must get
41 answers correct. You will be asked 15 general knowledge questions
(minimum 12 correct answers required), 30 road safety questions,
including traffic sign (minimum 29 correct answers required). |
| |
|
|
Before doing the DKT, pick up a Road Users Handbook
and an application form from any RTA office. |
| |
|
|
Make sure you study the Road Users handbook and have
a go on the practice test to make sure you are ready. |
| |
|
|
It is advisable (though not necessary), to book in
for the DKT at your local RTA office, to save you having to wait.
|
| |
|
|
You can attempt the DKT at any RTA office; and if
you fail you can retry the test the next day. |
| |
|
|
When you go the RTA office to do the test, make sure
you take the completed application form, the required identification
(listed on the application form), and $15.00 to cover the cost of
the leaners licence when you pass the DKT. (The DKT will cost $12.00).
|
| |
|
|
The RTA Rule Book with cost $12.00. |
| |
|
|
Once you have passed the test
you will be given an eyesight test, have your photo taken; and you
will be issued with a learner licence and a Learner Driver Log Book
before you leave the RTA office. |
