What Should I Bring To A Lesson?

Please bring the following items to every driving lesson:

• Valid Learner Permit:  This is your official document that allows you to practice driving.
• Logbook or App:  Use this to keep track of your driving hours.
• Water:  Staying hydrated is important!

Check Your Local Rules

Each State and Territory in Australia have their own rules for learner drivers. It’s a good idea to check with your local licensing authority for the latest information.

Important Rules

In Australia, it is mandatory for all learner drivers to carry a valid learner permit while driving. Some States/Territories do allow you to have this permit in digital form through a Government mobile app.

If you do not have your learner permit with you when asked by an authorised person, such as a police officer, you will likely be breaching a learner permit condition.

Keep Track of Your Driving Hours

We recommend bringing your logbook with you so the instructor can record the lesson driving hours. You can use a paper logbook or a digital app, depending on local Government rules.

Stay Hydrated

Always bring water to stay hydrated, especially before you drive.

Did you know that a study by Loughborough University in 2015 found that being just 2% to 3% dehydrated can lead to a 20% decrease in concentration? When you're dehydrated, your reaction times can also slow down significantly.
