Published 22 Oct, Published 26 Oct, Published 27 Oct, Published 2 Nov, Learner drivers and supervisors can also use an online electronic logbook system that has been developed by RACQ to record the hours driving experience. This can reduce the hour requirement. If you are unable to gain your hours of supervised on-road driving experience, you may be eligible for an exemption.

If an exemption is granted, you must hold your learner licence for two years before undertaking your driving test. Your initial logbook will be issued to you when you get your learner licence, and the cost will be included in your learner licence fee.

Replacement or additional logbooks may be purchased through the Services online section at www. Your supervising driver must sign every entry in your logbook.

If you are submitting a Prior Driving Experience Declaration, your supervising driver s must also sign this form. When you have completed hours, you will need to sign a declaration that the logbook entries are true and correct. Penalties apply to you and your supervisor if you record false or misleading information in your logbook.

Your Department of Transport and Main Roads logbook contains all the information and instructions you will need. Mobile phones Mobile phones can be a major distraction to young drivers. This includes using hands-free kits, Bluetooth accessories and loudspeaker functions Your supervisor and any passengers are also banned from using mobile phones on loudspeaker function.

If you are under 25, a learner licence holder and need to use your mobile phone, you may use it only when you are legally and safely parked. Ready to drive—for the learner When you receive your learner licence you will be given a learner driver kit, which includes the logbook for you to record your hours of supervised on-road driving experience including at least 10 hours night driving. You will also be provided with information to help you get your provisional licence.

This information will give you helpful tips and explain the step-by-step process of upgrading from a learner licence to a provisional licence. Remember that taking risks and driver inexperience are key factors in many fatal crashes involving young drivers. While learner drivers are not generally prone to having crashes, once you get your provisional licence, you are then a solo driver and are much more likely to have a serious crash than other motorists.

Use your time as a learner to make yourself the best possible driver. You want to be the best driver you can be. What is the maximum blood alcohol concentration for a learner driver under 25? See page 21 A.

If you are driving a car on a learner licence, you: See page 23 A. Which one of the following statements is true for a learner driver? You must have only one passenger in the car. You must only drive during daylight hours. You need to complete the required number of hours of supervised on-road driving experience before you can undertake your Q-SAFE practical driving test.

If you are a learner licence holder under 25 years of age, you must lodge your completed and certified logbook at Australia Post at least 14 days before your Q-SAFE practical driving test.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads will carefully check and record your logbook, and will then notify you of your result. Note: If you wish to obtain a motorbike licence or heavy vehicle licence, see pages 39 and 48 respectively.

The vehicle must be registered and pass a basic safety check conducted by the driving examiner. Convertible-style vehicles must have the roof closed. All doors must be able to be opened from inside and outside the vehicle and be fitted with suitable door handles. If you are under 25 and do your Q-SAFE practical driving test in a high-powered vehicle such as one with eight or more cylinders, or one with a turbo, super- charged or modified engine, you will not be able to drive it out of the testing centre after you pass the Q-SAFE practical driving test unless you have an exemption.

This is because P1 drivers which you will then be are restricted from driving high-powered vehicles—see High-powered vehicles, page See P plates on page 34 for information on where to buy P plates or how to download them from www. You should arrive at least ten minutes before your test with the Driving test appointment sheet and driver licence application fully completed by you and the registered operator of the test vehicle.

Your signature on the form must be witnessed by a customer service officer. Failure to be ready for the test at the scheduled time may result in the cancellation of your driving test and the forfeiture of your driving test fee.

You will then be required to book and pay for another driving test. Make sure that you give at least two working days notice if you need to alter or cancel your appointment. When you arrive for your driving test, you will be informed on how the test will be conducted. Turn off your mobile phone as soon as you arrive at the testing centre, and leave it off for the duration of the test. A message from your driving examiner When you meet your driving examiner they will make the following statements to you before you start your driving test: Q-SAFE is designed to evaluate your ability to drive safely and correctly in different driving situations, which may include a variety of speed zones.

I will be asking you to perform a series of driving tasks throughout your assessment. You will be given clear directions in ample time. Do you have any questions? Then you have a chance to ask questions before your on-road test starts. The driving examiner will carry out a basic safety check on your vehicle.

Pre-drive check The pre-drive check asks you to locate and explain the operation of a range of vehicle controls including wipers, washers, demister, air conditioner, seat adjustment, hazard lights, mirrors and headlights.

You can have one attempt with a maximum of two reverse and one forward movements - reverse—steer a steady course in an approximate straight line , starting and finishing within 50 cm of the kerb. The observation should be predominantly by turning your head and looking through the rear window - turn around—within the width of a street, turn the car around with a minimum number of forward and reverse movements.

Do not turn the wheel when the vehicle is stopped - U-turn—give way to all other vehicles and pedestrians and have a clear view of all approaching traffic - hill start—position the car parallel to and within 50 cm of the kerb and move off without rolling backwards - gear changing in automatics—if you are driving an automatic car, you may be asked to select a lower gear and re-select drive. The examiner will tell you at the end of your test whether you have passed or failed.

You also get feedback on any errors, and a copy of your Driving assessment report. If you have passed, you pay the licence fee and have your photo taken. You then get a P1 licence if you are under 25 years of age, or a P2 licence if you are 25 years of age or older.

You risk a fine if you do not display the correctly coloured P plate on your vehicle before you start driving. Note: If you already hold a provisional or open licence, and are upgrading your licence, it will be re-issued with the new licence class stated on it. Before you leave, make sure you know exactly what you did wrong and how you can improve.

Your learner licence is current for three years and it is easily renewed. So take your time. Provisional licences Once you have passed your practical driving test, you will get a provisional licence. Under the graduated licensing system, the type of provisional licence you receive will depend on how old you are. If you are under 25, you will get a P1 provisional licence. If you are 25 or older, you will get a P2 provisional licence. If you are 24 years of age when you get your P1 licence, full P1 restrictions will apply to you until you turn When you turn 25, fewer restrictions will apply for the balance of the P1 period.

Note: You must remove the red P plates from your vehicle and replace them with green P plates before you start driving as a P2 licence holder. Hazard perception test In order to graduate to a P2 or open licence, all P1 licence holders must pass a hazard perception test. The hazard perception test is an additional test that complements the road rules test and the practical driving test. The hazard perception test assesses whether your hazard perception skills are sufficiently advanced to allow you to upgrade from a P1 licence to a P2 or open licence.

A traffic conflict is a situation where your vehicle is on course to hit another road user. If your vehicle needs to slow down or change course to prevent a crash, then there is a traffic conflict. When it is time for you to sit the hazard perception test, the Department of Transport and Main Roads will send you a letter outlining eligibility requirements and instructions on how to take and prepare for the test.

The test is only available through the Department of Transport and Main Roads website it is not available at driver licence issuing centres.

If you pass the hazard perception test, you will not be required to sit this test again. Importantly, you will never be able to exit the P1 provisional licence until you have successfully passed the hazard perception test. P plates The first year of driving poses the greatest risk of crashes for young drivers.

P plates have been reintroduced to remind young or inexperienced drivers that they are novices and still developing their on-road experience. They also help other road users to exercise caution around P-plated drivers. You can buy P plates from service stations, major retailers and automotive outlets. You may request an exemption, but exemptions are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with strict guidelines. If you breach the high-powered vehicle restriction, a fine and 3 demerit point penalty will apply.

Mobile phones All drivers are banned from using a mobile phone that is held in the hand while driving see page Additionally, the restrictions that apply to learner licence holders under 25 and their passengers still apply during the P1 period. P1 licence holders under 25 are banned from using mobile phones at any time while driving, and this includes using hands-free kits, Bluetooth accessories and loudspeaker function.

Passengers of P1 licence holders are also banned from using mobile phones on the loudspeaker function. Peer passengers Research shows that the risk of having a crash is higher when a young driver is carrying more than one passenger of a similar age to them their peers in their vehicle.

When you are driving on your P1 licence, you may only carry one passenger aged under 21 excluding immediate family members between You risk a fine and 3 demerit points if you do not comply with this restriction. Further restrictions will be imposed during the good driving behaviour period, or when you resume driving after the suspension, if you are under 25—see Licence suspensions, page If your licence has expired, is suspended, or you are disqualified by a court from holding or obtaining a driver licence during the provisional licence period, this time will not contribute to the time for which you must hold that licence.

Sample questions —provisional licences 1. What is the maximum blood alcohol 2. If you are under 25 and hold a concentration for a provisional licence P1 provisional licence, how many holder under 25?

See page 33 passengers under 21 other than family members are you allowed to have in the car between See page 32 A. None B. Which two of the following statements are true for a driver with a P1 provisional licence? You may not use a mobile phone while driving, but your passengers can, provided they do not use the loudspeaker function. You may only use a mobile phone in the car when you are legally and safely parked. If you hold a provisional licence, your licence will be suspended or you will have to comply with a good driving behaviour option if you accumulate how many demerit points?

See page 36 A. To graduate to an open licence you will not be required to undertake the hazard perception test. If you pass a Q-SAFE practical driving test for an additional or higher class of licence and you already hold a Queensland open driver licence, your licence will be re-issued to you showing the additional or higher licence class.

Probationary and restricted licences Probationary licences If you were disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver licence by a court and you have now served the period of disqualification, you will be issued with a probationary licence.

If you held a P provisional licence issued before 1 July before you were disqualified, you are not required to display P plates if you are driving under a P probationary licence.

If you are over the age of 25 and held an open licence before you were disqualified, you are not required to display P plates on your vehicle while driving under a probationary licence. You must apply to the court for this licence before the Magistrate decides your period of disqualification. Note: This five-year period is calculated backwards from the day your application is made to the court.

In all cases, you must be able to prove to the court that you need a driver licence to earn your living. Motorbikes Class RE To be eligible for a motorbike class RE learner licence, you must have held a provisional or open licence for another class of vehicle for at least one year during the past five years.

To help identify motorbikes that can be legally ridden under a class RE licence, a LAM indicator will be included on the registration label of approved motorbikes. A full list of approved motorbikes and more information about the LAM scheme is available on the Department of Transport and Main Roads website at www. The main differences are outlined in the table below. You must pass a practical riding test before While learning to ride you are assessed you are issued with your class RE licence.

Class R You must have held your class RE provisional or open licence for at least one year before learning to ride a class R motorbike. A class R provisional or open licence allows you to ride a motorbike of any engine capacity including a learner approved motorbike and a moped.

Pillion passenger restriction for learner riders Class RE and R learner licence holders are prohibited from carrying pillion passengers including their supervisor when learning to ride a motorbike on a road. A learner is still required to be supervised by an appropriately licensed person when riding a motorbike. If the motorbike has a sidecar, the supervisor may accompany the learner by being safely seated in the sidecar. If the motorbike does not have a sidecar, the supervisor may follow at a safe distance on another motorbike or in another vehicle.

P plates on motorbikes If you hold a P1 or P2 type licence, you will need to clearly display a red or green P plate on the rear of your motorbike including a moped when riding. If you already hold an open licence when you get your class RE or R licence, you will not need to display a P plate when riding. Your first motorbike licence will be for a class RE, which will allow you to ride a learner approved motorbike. After you have held your class RE provisional or open licence for at least one year, you may learn to ride a class R motorbike with any engine capacity under this licence, but you may only be taught by a person who holds an open class R licence and has held this licence for at least one year.

Note: A learner is still required to be supervised by an appropriately licensed person when riding a motorbike. You cannot take the practical driving test on a moped because it is not representative of the class of vehicle that may be driven under a class C or RE licence.

Note: if you hold a C, RE or R provisional or open licence, you are already authorised to ride a moped without supervision. For information on booking your practical test, see page Test vehicles For your test, you must ride a motorbike that is a standard test vehicle for the licence you want. Licence class Vehicle requirement RE restricted A learner approved motorbike. Note: You cannot take a test on a moped, conditionally registered motorbike, a motorbike with a sidecar attached or a motortrike.

The vehicle must be registered and pass a basic safety check conducted by the riding examiner. If you hold a P1 or P2 provisional licence, bring your P plate to attach to your motorbike after you pass the test. You will need a red P plate if you hold a P1 type licence or a green P plate if you hold a P2 type licence. See P plates on motorbikes, page A message from your riding examiner The riding examiner will make the following statements to you before starting your riding test: - Q-SAFE is designed to evaluate your ability to ride safely and correctly in different situations, which may include a variety of speed zones.

Please keep me in your vision and, should we get separated during the assessment, please stop somewhere safe and legal and wait for me. Directions will be given by radio. On-road riding test The individual on-road test time will be 35 minutes or less for both the class RE and R licence.

The on-road riding test will include general riding exercises and low speed manoeuvres. Beware of oily or loose surfaces, especially near intersections. The positioning of your motorbike on the road must be suitable for the road conditions. When in a marked lane, keep within the lane. Use all your fingers on the front brake at all times. You are not required to change back through the gears in this exercise - hill start—moving off smoothly from a stationary position and travelling up a moderate incline without the motorbike rolling backwards.

The Q-Ride method Q-Ride is a competency-based training and assessment program aimed at improving the quality of learner rider instruction. Q-Ride ensures that participants continue their training until they can demonstrate they are competent against set standards. Get started—you need to hold a class RE learner licence to learn to ride a class RE motorbike, or a class RE provisional or open licence for at least one year to learn to ride a class R motorbike. Choose—a Q-Ride registered service provider.

Your choice may depend on location, fees and charges. Enrol—in Q-Ride training with a Q-Ride registered service provider.

Uncontrolled and unpredictable events such as road works and traffic crashes may affect the duration of the test.

Q-SAFE practical driving test When you do a practical driving test for a heavy vehicle, you will also be assessed on the following tasks. Pre-drive check The pre-drive check asks you to locate and explain a range of vehicle controls including wipers, washers, demister, air conditioner, seat adjustment, hazard lights, mirrors, horn and headlights.

You can do the manoeuvre in a left- or right-hand direction. Start and finish reversing parallel to and within 2 m of the edge of the road. The driving examiner may allow you two attempts to successfully reverse the vehicle around the corner.

Two reverse movements and one forward movement are allowed for each attempt. The forward movement for left and right reversing can be as far as the furthest edge or kerb you are turning from.

You should check what you are doing by looking in your mirrors, although you can glance over your shoulder occasionally. On a manual vehicle, use the clutch. Uncouple and recouple the trailer, following all safe practices, in the correct sequence within 12 minutes.

Extra time may be given for some configurations, e. Correct sequence and procedure—uncouple 1. Apply the park brake to the vehicle. Alight from the cab facing the vehicle.
