    • 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.

    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
