Q. What does the Driving Test in Melbourne involve
The Victorian Driving Test is designed to assess the safe driving skills of learner drivers applying for probationary licence. It is also used to assess other licence applicants who are required to take a practical driving test in Melbourne.
The Drive Test was developed by Vic Roads with the assistance of several Australian and international experts in novice driver safety.
The driving test assesses the skills required to drive safely in day to day driving tasks, taking the following into account. Licence applicants are expected to have a high level of driving skill, knowledge and competence.
The Victorian Graduated Licensing System (GLS) requires licence applicants under 21 years to hold a learner permit for at least 12 months and to accrue at least 120 hours of supervised driving experience.
During the driving test, the applicant is directed to drive around a fixed assessment route and asked to perform specific driving tasks (such as turns or lane changes) on various roads around Melbourne.
