Driving test in Australia
I am a bit worried here. I have noticed that people keep posting things about taking a drivers licence in Oz.
It took me 6 times to pass here in Britain and will be gutted to have to do the whole thing again. Tell me it is not true, and that I can happily just plod along in a ute! Thanks, W.W's wife! |

Re: Driving test in Australia
If you're heading for QLD or SA, I'm sure someone posted once that you could fly into WA (or one of the others that just swaps it) swap your licence (for a fee, of course) and that's that.
Not sure if you can but cant honestly see why not... |

It's not a straight swap in NSW. You have to take the "written" test again. This is basically sitting in front of a touch screen computer and doing a multi-choice test. It's real easy. It has questions like 'What do you do when a traffic light is green ?". You dont have to redo the driving test itself.

So it has become a straight swap, if you have a full UK licence. However, If you have held your driver licence for less than 12 months, you will be issued a NSW provisional P1 licence. If you have held your driver licence for more than 12 months but less than three years, a provisional P2 licence will be issued.
