Default Victoria driving test - the book

Hi everyone

Chicky but quick question.

Has anyone in Melborne got a copy of the book one needs to read to sit the written driving test that they would like to give away, say for a nominal price?

Thanks in advance

Just buy one from VicRoads. It's only about $14, and you can order it online from the VicRoads bookshop.

when you say this, do you mean the pdf I attached above or something else that you forgot to attach to your message?

thanks

Sunnyspells...the pdf you attached was the book that we borrowed at the test centre. This was what we rapidly read!! The test is not hard so don't worry too much.

Sunnyspells,

The pdf that you have linked to is the actual book that you need to read. The only problem is that it is locked for printing, so it can only be read on screen. If you are comfortable reading it on your computer, there is no need to buy it.

However, if you want a hardcopy of the booklet, just order it from the VicRoads online bookshop. The link you need is here.

Alternatively, if you are already in Australia, most bookshops and newsagents in Melbourne sell the book. You can also visit the VicRoads bookshop which is in the VicRoads building on Denmark Street in Kew.
