The Drive Test must be taken within 12 months of completing the Hazard Perception Test. You won’t be able to take the Drive Test until you pass the Hazard Perception Test.
We recommend you leave at least a few days between taking your Hazard Perception Test In-person and booking your Drive Test in case you need additional attempts to pass.
The Drive Test checks to see if you're ready to drive safely on your own with other traffic. You must pass the Drive Test to get your Victorian probationary licence.
The Drive Test is made up of two parts:
- a pre-drive check and
- on-road driving.
