Is this the current driving test in qld and has it changed? Also how many hours do you recommend for mature driver before taking the test??

[@drivingtestaustralia]

@@Sherlock245 This is current and up-to-date. It is difficult to comment on how many hours are needed before the test, as everyone is different. Typically, after taking at least one or two hour-long lessons with an instructor, they will be able to let you know how many more hours you need before your test.

@@drivingtestaustralia thank you very much and for video!! Do you recommend Sherwood driving test

[@Sherlock245]

@@drivingtestaustralia how about other driver in sherwood? Or is the route just yours??

[@drivingtestaustralia]

@@Sherlock245 You're welcome. Sherwood or any other centre! They are all the same. A long as you are aware of all the traffic rules, you will be fine 🙂

Passed my QLD driving test last week with 0 minors thanks to your videos. Thank you so much.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

This is a great achievement. Congrats 🥳 💪 👏 and you're welcome. You just made my day.

[@user-ek7lc9we4m]

do you go to driving school?

[@thebabus17]

@@user-ek7lc9we4m Uhm kinda, one hour before the actual text that's it. Most of my driving knowledge came from this channel.

My brother is doing the test next week. This was helpful for him. I wish it was like the 70s when the cops could just give you a licence. These test are just for city people

[@bencodykirk]

Yeah, and we also didn't wear seatbelts in the 70s. Didn't end well for a lot of people.

[@DatsunBloke7357]

@bencodykirk It should be optional to wear seatbelts. Personally, I would always wear a seatbelt, but it should be up to the individual rather than the government. Although those laws only exist for revenue raising.

[@bencodykirk]

@@DatsunBloke7357 I'm glad to hear you wear a seatbelt, but the laws are not "revenue raising". They are to stop people dying. Some things should NOT be left up to the individual because people are too stupid on the whole.

[@DatsunBloke7357]

@bencodykirk Sometimes, I wonder if there is too much safety stuff everywhere. I believe if someone wants to do something stupid and it will only affect them, then they should be allowed to do it. That's why I believe their should be a punishment for drink driving as that can hurt other people as you are more likely to crash into someone, which puts other road users at risk. But not wearing a seatbelt and crashing and being flung out your window is your own fault and only will affect you.

[@citydandad3753]

With the test report sheet, I've got an idea on how it can be improved. Here's my idea: There is a box that asks if the student in the driving test has any condition that may affect their driving. The label will say "Conditions that may affect the student's driving" However, this box is only filled if the student has a condition that affects their driving. How it will work: The examiner will ask the student if they have a condition that may affect their performance in the driving test. If the student has a condition, the examiner will write down the type of condition that the student have. Examples: 1: The student will tell the examiner that they have autism or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). The examiner will write down the word "Autism" or "Autism Spectrum Disorder". 2: The student tells the examiner that they have poor visibility where they need something to wear glasses to improve observation. The examiner will write down the word "Poor visibility". Reasons on why this should be added: 1: The examiner will be aware of the student's behaviour including their feelings and attitude during the test. They may try and help keep the student as calm as possible. 2: If the student passes the test, their condition will be converted to the label "Conditions" in their driver licence card including their licence receipt too. 3: May prevent people from failing to notify TMR their condition to risk themselves from getting a huge fine.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

This is a great point. They actually ask this question from all the driving test applicants when they fill out a form before they take their test. To make sure that this has been answered correctly, even the TMR agents who do the driving test registrations, ask about that again, and write down any specific conditions that the applicants may have. So this has been taken into consideration already, just not included in the test report sheet. 🙂

I was a driving instructor in Brisbane for afew years, this area looks like Greenslopes?? Good video btw greatly enjoyed it

Thanks mate for your comment. Yes, that's Greenslopes

Thank you sir I’m about to do the test in 30 mins!! If I pass I’ll comment again xd xd 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@drivingtestaustralia]

All the best. Hope to see your comment again soon 🙏

[@BassLiberators]

Thanks for the videos! I've been googling and can't find an official answer to this question. For my practical test do I need to turn of all of my car's driving-assistance features like automatic speed warning and lane assist? I know reversing cameras are ok but I can't find info on other safety features. Cheers!

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome. That's what they tell you when you go for the driving test: "If the vehicles is fitted with driver assist devices (for example GPS, speed alarms, park assist or easy start) please turn these devices off for the duration of the test, where possible or requested.". SO they ask you to turn these off, WHERE POSSIBLE OR REQUESTED. They prefer you to turn these off if possible. This is a part of the message the driving examiners ask you to read before you start the test. You can watch this video for the full message: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goSweWpvi6tshJY

[@devnullNZ]

What Qld legislation requires dashcams to be disabled during driving tests? Just had a teen failed for doing 45 in a school zone after being told by the assessor to speed up because the limit was 60 & he was doing 40, so a record of any misconduct would be nice to have when submitting a misconduct complaint. I've hunted everywhere, but can't find any legal requirement to disable them

[@drivingtestaustralia]

There are no requirements for the dashcams to be disabled. Dashcams can be installed and used to record. However, they must not record the cabin, and voice recording must be disabled for privacy reasons. Examiners do not ask driving test applicants to do anything illegal, nor do they trick them.

How do you do a reversing exercise properly, the examiner failed me because i didn’t physically turn around when i was reversing

[@drivingtestaustralia]

That's right. When reversing, you need to physically turn around and look back through the rear windscreen 90% of the time. In shorts videos, there are bits and pieces of info about reversing exercise

[@deborahconnelly-jy1mf]

Hello, is failing to check blind spot whilst doing a hill start a critical error?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

It depends on the situation. If another vehicle happens to be in your blindspot at the moment you start driving, that's critical. But if there is no one there, it's a non-critical driving error.

[@randomkitg5624]

Hey so about controlling your speed, I understand if you go over then it’s a fail but is it the same with being a little bellow it too?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Speeding is an instant fail. Driving too slow for the situation is a mark down.

[@raquelcianciola9219]

Speeding is illegal and is an instant fail, but for example you are going gown a hill on a 60 road. the speed increases because of the hill and you are breaking but it goes to 61km but you instantly change it and start breaking faster. Is that still a fail because of the instant reaction?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Yes it is. Even 1 k over the speed limit is an instant fail. In a test situation, speed control an ability that examiners check to see if driver licence applicants possess

[@Sushi_Tea1]

Expectations are crazy high, like if no one uses these "rules" in real life

I had no idea gear changes could be a part of the test. My driving instructor never mentioned it! My test is next Friday and I feel I still don't know everything 😭

Hey mate quick question, if you were to get into a collision in your test that isn’t your fault, what happens?

Hi there, in that case, they cancel the test and you have to do it again. It's just cancelled. It's not recorded as a fail

hello, if there is roundbout with 30kmph if i go 31 its fail? and if there is no roundbout speedlimit what speed will be prefer? thanku

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Hi Aoi. Roundabouts don't have any specific speed limit. The roads do. If there is a roundabout in a road with the speed limit of 30kmph, you need to make sure you don't drive over 30 even in that roundabout. Driving over the speed limit is an instant fail :)

[@callum_b0486]

When doing a reverse parallel park do I have to look out the back window or is that only for reverse exercise? I have my test in 4 days

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Mostly looking out the back window and all around the car

[@MurdaCrumpet]

Yea they do all of that and it still doesn't stop young people buying fast cars and hooning them it's a waste of time and resources

[@leeharrison3276]

It's to test the basic skills and you are capable. Everyone has the freedom to do anything after this, just like you typing that comment. So in your words you just think everyone should have a licence with no test? Then they will still do the wrong thing? Probably the strangest outlook on test ever. Why test is school anyone can just get a job anyway. Why test to be a doctor they will fail anyway.
