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.
There are two different exams you will be tested on:
- A Knowledge test
- An eyesight test
1 - First of all, you must be ready and study for the knowledge driving test. This exam contains 32 questions and the pass score is 78%, so you will have to answer at least 25 questions right to pass.
The exam is based on the “Road to Solo Driving handbook” which you may download from the official VicRoads website. There are different languages available for you to facilitate comprehension.
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.
