Your LS
All new drivers must apply for the learners license to the Vic Roads department. To proceed with this, you must be 16 years old or older and you must pass the driving exam.
You will be tested in the following exams:
- A Knowledge test
- An eyesight test
1 - First of all, the driver must be ready and study for the knowledge driving test. The exam consists of 32 questions and the pass score is 78%, (The driver will have to answer at least 25 questions right to pass.)
The exam is based on the handbook “Road to Solo Driving” which is available for download from the official VicRoads website. To facilitate comprehension, there are different languages available.
2 - Once the driver is ready to take the official exam, proceed to schedule an appointment and visit the VicRoads customer service department to access the test.

- By phone - by calling 13 11 71.
