Getting licenced
Being ready to go for your L’s or P’s is about much
more than being able to pass the test.
Licensing assessments are professional and thorough but they are
not infallible - it's possible to pass and still not be properly
ready for the next stage.
As much as you might want your licence, you really don't want
that to happen. We all have a responsibility to other people to be
truly capable on the roads.
If you’re preparing to go for your L’s, there
are activities you can
do from the passenger seat to give yourself a head start on the
learning process and make sure you’re prepared when it’s time to
get behind the wheel.
For aspiring P platers, there are a number of
things you need to consider to determine if you’re ready for solo
driving. In the time in takes to pass your practical driving test,
you go from being the statistically one of the safest drivers on
the road to one of the most at risk. New drivers are 20 to 30 times
more likely to be involved in a crash – defy the statistics by
making sure you’re really ready.
Use the P plate ready
indicator to test your readiness and give you an idea
of which areas might require attention and improvement.
