We know that having no car in Australia is equal to having no legs, so it is easier to drive and rent a car with an Australian driver's license.
There is an Australian driver's license is equivalent to an Australian identity card, sometimes to the bank to show the driver's license, to buy wine also need, so there will be a lot easier to have an Australian driver's license!
I have been to Australia for more than a year. At first, I used the English translation of my driver's license at home. But if you want to stay in a state for more than three months, you have to test your local driver's license, and because I'm not a member of the United Nations International Convention on Road Traffic, the mainland driver's license can't be changed. So how do you get to Australia's Full Licence? Then listen to me slowly, to see patiently, because some more cumbersome.
First, the overall situation, divided into two major situations, with and without a domestic driver's license.
Tell me more about how to get an Australian driver's license without a domestic driver's license, because it will involve a number of different levels of Licence.
License 01 L
You need to take part in the basic rules, theory test. Go to the local road traffic management department, called MVR in the Northern Territory (insert MVR Indoor Photo)
There's something special about it. It's called Vicroads, in Victoria, RTA, in new state, transport in Queensland, and so on. All the local people in the states can search the Internet for themselves. After you went, you told the staff you wanted theory test.. Then ta will ask you to bring the following information and documents (all of them take the Northern Territory MVR as an example) a. Passport original b.2 bank card with name c. A bank statement d. with its own state address A domestic driver's license translation (otherwise without a driver's license) has all the information and staff members say you want theory test, ta to give you an application form (pictured below) and send it to the staff together with the information.
The staff will give you registration information, ta will give you a visual test (glasses must be worn if you need to wear glasses) and take a photo and then arrange for you to take the written examination after handing in the next 20 dollars. A total of 30 questions in the written examination, all multiple choice questions, 26 or more correct questions will only be counted as pass. The total time is 2 hours. By the way, I passed in 15 minutes with a full score on one question.

After the exam, go back to the staff and tell ta that you have finished the exam, and then ta will make different records and choices based on your grades. Because I have passed the exam, so I don't know what will happen if I don't pass the exam. Maybe it can be handed over to Qian Zhong. After I finished the exam, I went to the staff to tell her that I had finished the exam, and she gave me a driver licence (fee of about $30 for conditions according to my grades and information.
My driver's license is conditions's. S means I need to wear glasses when I'm driving (because I'm short-sighted). X says you can't drive more than 80 km / h, and you have to have someone with a Full licence sitting next to you and then you can't drink.
This licence is equivalent to L-card. After getting the driver's license with conditions, the staff gave me a form with the contact details of the road examiners specified by MVR. Let me contact the examiner to take the road test as soon as possible. After the road test, you can cancel the X on the driver's license. This is Full Licence, sorry, a little bit.
Now, to get the L card, this stage requires you to hold the full licence card for at least 12 months and complete 100 hours of driving training in a variety of road conditions accompanied by the Learner. If you are under the age of 25, add an extra 20 hours of night driving training. All the exercises are recorded in Learner Driver Log Book. At the end of the year and after the signature of the full driver, you can apply for the red / red driver's license for the road test (Driving Test).
02 Red P driver's license
Driving test, who applies for a red P driver's license, can either drive his own car or rent an examiner's car. If there is no problem with his own car, driving his own car will certainly cost less for the exam, and the examiner's car will have to be rented accordingly.
This mainly tests basic driving skills, judgment and decision-making ability, coordination driving ability with other vehicles and so on. The cost is also around 50, excluding rental fares.
Candidates over the age of 25 can apply for a red P driver's license without waiting for a 12-month L license. They can apply ahead of time, and they don't need to record all the practice records in their Learner Driver Log Book.
This is the age advantage. If you haven't passed the exam, you can continue to make an appointment for the exam after 7 days. There are a few points in the road test that will definitely be Fail if you don't do it well. Speeding for 5 seconds in a row, grabbing red, green and yellow lights, stop road signs did not stop enough for 3 seconds, the school area did not slow down according to the regulations (40 kilometers within the prescribed time), the sidewalk did not stop to give way, there was no need to change lanes at will, and the road changed without looking back. Turn on the light less than 5 seconds, hit the road edge and roadside, do not give way to pedestrians, and bus race.
If you pass the exam, congratulations on getting your red P license, so you need to hang a red P sign in front and back of your car while you're driving, and you can drive on your own, but not more than 90 kmph per hour. Then if a violation of traffic regulations is deducted by more than 4 points, sorry red P will be revoked, which means that the examination needs to be re-tested. The maximum validity of the red p is 18 months, if you have no green p through the examination, you can re-apply for red p, do not need to take the road test again.
03 Green P driver's license
In the same way, you can apply for road hazard computer simulation tests for at least 12 months with no record of violation. After passing, you can issue a green p card.
Test method: computer touch screen control vehicle. Test content: examinee's ability to judge and respond to the potential danger on the road.
The exam will simulate a total of 15 real-world scenarios, and you need to touch the screen and choose to answer. The cost is also around $50. After passing, you can get a green P driver's license. Green P's requirement is that you also need the front and back of the car to hang the green P card, you can drive alone on the road, and the speed is now up to 100 km / h. The driver's license is seven. The fee for Red P is about 90. It is valid for 30 months.
04 Full licence
Green P driving license for at least 24 months to apply for the Full licence test, that is: driver qualification examination passed before applying for Full licence. Got Full Licence. Congratulations. Finally through it.
。
Let's calculate the time for a novice's Australian driver's license under 25: 12 months for L-card, 12 months for green P licence, 24 months for practice time, so the total time is more than or equal to 48 months, 4 years. In Australia, it takes four years to get a driver's license to get an Full licence. It's a long way from testing 0 to getting a driver's license in Australia. This has to be said to be a battle.
But for friends who already have a domestic driver's license, they don't have to suffer for such a long time. Immediately introduce how to test the driving license of Tu'ao in Tu'ao with a domestic driver's license.
Those who have a domestic driver's license can also be divided into three sub-categories.
1. If you are under 25 years of age with a Chinese driver's license for less than 1 year, you can pass the written test to obtain the corresponding Australian red p driver's license. After a year of driving, you can apply for a computer simulation test and pass the upgrade to green P.
2. If you hold a Chinese driver's license for more than a year under the age of 25, or if you hold a Chinese driver's license for less than three years at the age of 25, you can pass the written road test to obtain an Australian green p driver's license. After a total of three years of driving age (Australian driving age in China), you can apply for the driver qualification test and upgrade to Full licence.
3. If you are more than 25 years old and hold Chinese driving for more than three years, you can apply for the written examination
Road test, both passed, directly issued the full driver's license! My domestic driver's license has been full for three years, and then through this way, I got the full driver's license directly at one time! The written and road tests are one-off. Take the written test on March 6, pass the road test on March 12, and then you can get the Full Licence.. That's how fast it is)
Special description: each state has different age requirements, some states are 25 years old is a demarcation point, some states 21 years old is a demarcation point. Therefore, the specific situation also needs to do specific consultation. And for all levels of driving license states also have different rules for different age stages, so it is also a more complex. Specifically ask the local road traffic safety management department.
I've already said how to write the test, and now I'm going to talk about the road test, which is called Driving test.. I made a reservation on the day of the written examination, then a local examiner came to pick me up the next day and let me drive. As soon as I got in the car and stepped on the gas, I just said I couldn't pass the exam because bulabula was a pile. And then I said, I'll follow you for a few days, two hours a day to keep me driving, and then he's been coaching (not like a domestic coach) with a good attitude, and teaching me how to look at the signboard. How to understand the signage lights, what to pay attention to, all the roads in this place have been opened again and again.
The road test summed up as follows:
For a total of four hours, at $65 an hour, it was actually worth it, because:
After the road test this morning, the road test is about 40 minutes. I passed with a pass rate of 999%, and 90.00% was the lowest score. You can go get Full licence tomorrow.
To tell the truth, it is not clear how the score is played.
One particular point: if a driver has taken a theoretical written test and passed the written test, he or she will not be allowed to use any other license (including all overseas and other state licenses)-the Learner Permit, will not be allowed to use any other license (including all overseas driving licenses and other state driving licenses). The offender was fined $295.
By the way, it's normal for Australia to run a red light and get a 400-500 ticket.

Mainland driver's license-Hong Kong driver's license-Australian driver's license
Then some people will say that Hong Kong driver's license can be changed directly to Australia driver's license ah, then I would like to say that there is a mistake. First of all, the mainland driver's license to change Hong Kong driver's license, your mainland driver's license to complete a year.
Then you can find something to do, or you can do it yourself.
So let's say you're driving for a year and then find some agent in the simplest way. If you're in Australia, you still send the original passport back to a treasure store?
That's not going to work, if you're all right at home. Let's say people are in the mainland and let some baby do it, but you can't change your Australian driver's license until you have changed your driving license in Hong Kong for a year. Moreover, the requirements for Hong Kong driver's license to change Australian driver's license vary from state to state. Victoria is the most complex and cumbersome. Kunzhou is the simplest: age and driving age.
All in all, those over 25 years old and more than 3 years old will be able to change their Australian driver's license. This is the advantage of old age. So it's not about getting yourself into trouble, unless you're ready for it.
Otherwise, it is better to use the domestic driving test to exchange Australian driver's license. A driver's license in Australia is in fact a responsibility for one's own life.
Interested friends can search online how to change the mainland driver's license to Hong Kong driver's license and then Hong Kong driver's license to Australian driver's license, I feel trouble, so I take the test directly.
Thank you again! Finally, a score sheet for March 12 and a 5-year Full licence (photo obtained on March 15 are attached. Welcome to correct!
Scorecard:
Full licence
