Study Notes
Road to Solo Driving - Study Notes
- Graduated Licensing System (GLS): Aims to reduce the risk of crashes for new drivers by introducing them to driving progressively
- Learner Permit Test: Based on the Road to Solo Driving handbook. Knowing road rules and the information in the handbook is necessary for passing the written and practical tests.
- Learner Kit: Includes guides for learners and supervising drivers, stages for building driving experience, and a Learner Log Book. This is essential for drivers under 21 years old for the 120-hour requirement for the driving test
- Learner Permit: Valid for 10 years, requires payment, photo, and receipt of driving experience hours.
- Probationary Licence Test: Includes hazard perception test and a driving test. For drivers under 21 years of age, completion of at least 120 hours of supervised driving is required, including 20 hours of night driving.
- P1 Probationary Licence: Typically a one-year period with specific rules for new drivers.
- P2 Probationary Licence: Typically a three-year period with specific rules
- Full Driver Licence: Issued after the probationary periods are met; requires a clean driving record (no points or suspensions)
- 10 Steps to Getting a Driver's Licence: Detailed steps outlined in the handbook.
- Evidence of Identity: Original documents are required to prove your identity, and residence in Victoria. Photocopies are not accepted. Examples include passports, Australian birth certificates, and utility bills.
- Evidence of Victorian Residence: Evidence of identity with proof of living in Victoria.
Managing Risk - Study Notes
- Alcohol and drugs: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs highly increases the risk of accidents, and is illegal.
- Speed: Speed is a significant factor in crashes. Speeding beyond the limit, especially in bad weather conditions, greatly increases the likelihood of accidents.
- Mobile phones: Using a mobile phone, including talking, texting, or using navigation while operating a car, is dangerous and increases your crash risk.
- Passengers: Passengers can be distracting, making it harder for drivers to respond to circumstances on the road. Having more than one passenger at a time is not recommended in the early stages of driving
- Fatigue: Driving while tired drastically reduces responsiveness. Fatigue is often present in learners with a lack of driving hours.
- Seatbelts: Wearing a seatbelt in all circumstances greatly prevents serious injuries.
