New driving test rules SA as of today
Good news for anyone SA bound, as of today they come into line with the rest of Australia no more practical driving tests for those of us who hold full UK licences. We just wish that they had done this last week when the wife and I took and failed the pracrical test. Our new test were booked for next week and we had been taking lessons on how to drive Australian style. We were advised by the examiner that we no longer needed to take a test. What a relief

there is a two part theory test, no need to book or anything just roll up pay your fee and take the test. The first part is all about the give way rules the second is multiple choice.
Once you've done that you can exchange your UK licence for a brand new SA one with photo(so make sure you take your hair brush.

after we were told by our examiner we tried to check it out on the tranport SA web site but they still had the old info. We then phoned the guy who failed us to check it out he also confirmed that as of yesterday morning no more practical. He was from Elite Driving school. All you need to do now is swot up on the road rules especially the give way rules and take your theory test.
Whereabout in Glenelg are you ? we are in Glenelg North and have been over here since the end of July.

took my test in melbourne to day took about 15 mins they allow you 45. 32 multiple choice questions 75% you will know or are commonsense eg what makes you drowsey when you drive a... fresh air b... a fair bit of alchohol c... a drink of coffee.!! .I got 88% guy next to me got 74% and still passed .they don't tell you what questions you got wrong just which books you need to check up on.Yea right lets get photo done and get me outta here.Some questions are pure guess because unless you've had lessons here you won't have any idea what there on about.
