learning to drive victoria

Ah, learning to drive in Victoria – where the roads are as twisty as the licensing process. First off, you’ll need a learner permit, which requires passing a computerised knowledge test covering road rules and safety. Once you’ve got that, you must complete at least 120 hours of supervised driving, including 20 hours at night, before you can tackle the driving test.

The VicRoads-approved driving test checks your ability to handle real-world scenarios, so it’s not just about parallel parking perfectly (though that helps). New drivers often struggle with roundabouts, lane positioning, and hazard perception – so keep your wits sharp.

Pro tip: consider professional lessons alongside supervised practice; it might just save your license – and your dignity. For official details, VicRoads is your best mate.
