Before you can get your first Australian Driver's Licence or Learner Permit you must pass a Driving Theory Test.
Most people know it as the Learner's Test but you do the same Theory Test if you convert from an International Licence.
Knowing the rules and other driving information will help you find the Test easy. The main part of the Learner's Test is multiple choice. Many correct answers come almost word for word from the Driver's Hand Book also known as the Road Rules Book.
If you have trouble getting through the written content, study the diagrams and captions. They are great and make lots of sense.
Once you know everything really well, test yourself using the RAA Learner's Test .
Make sure you have the current book. If you borrow a copy, the information could be out of date.
Road Rules change all the time. Often there are extra information sheets that come with the book. Get your own current copy.
The Road Rules Book is available for $10.00 from all Service SA Customer Service Centres . Copies are also available from RAA Shops and some News Agents.
