Log Your Hours

☐ I’ve logged enough supervised driving hours to feel confident behind the wheel and I have had my learners permit the required time.

Parking Skills

  • Reverse parallel
  • Angled
  • Reverse into and drive forward into a bay parking spot

☐ I understand traffic light arrows.
☐ I give way correctly at intersections.
☐ I manage stop and give-way signs properly.
☐ I know how to safely share the road with trams and cross tram tracks.

Awareness and Safety

☐ I check mirrors and blind spots every time.
☐ I keep safe following distances.
☐ I maintain correct lateral positioning within my lane.
☐ I don’t swerve out of my lane while turning.
☐ Lane changes feel smooth and controlled.

Bikes and Pedestrians

☐ I always look out for bicycles and pedestrians.
☐ I give them plenty of space, respect their right of way, and know when to give way.
☐ I stay alert near bike lanes, crossings, and footpaths.

Navigation and Confidence

☐ Roundabouts don’t confuse me.

☐ I can merge onto main roads confidently.

☐ I can complete manoeuvres without much stress.

Key Test for Readiness

☐ I can drive independently.

  • If my supervisor only gives minimal instructions, I’m close to ready.
  • If they constantly have to assist me, I need more practice.

Remember for the driving test no one can give you any assistance.

YOU MUST DRIVE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENTLY.
