In Australia, a solid test drive agreement is your safety net—like ABS for paperwork. It should capture the driver’s licence details, time/distance limits, who pays for fines and fuel, liability for damage, and insurance cover (remember: CTP only covers injuries, not your pride and joy). Dealers usually have blanket cover; private sellers should confirm their comprehensive policy allows other drivers—or take a deposit and written acceptance of liability. Add conditions like driver age, passenger limits, no off-roading, and a ban on “I’ll just see what it does in Sport mode” antics. Record the car’s condition, fuel level, and any existing damage before the drive, and snap photos—phones are cheaper than panels. If you’re listing on Tradingpost, these basics keep the fun part fun and the legal part tidy.
