Driving School Driving schools are independent business where learners learn how to drive and practice road safety during driver's courses. Firstly, one must obtain her/his learner licence. To get your learner licence you need to be 16 years of age or older. You will need to attend an RTA motor registry prove your identity and pass a Driver Knowledge Test. Before taking the test, you should study the Road Users’ Handbook and the brochure Getting your driver licence, both of which are available on the RTA site. You can also download and study the list of DKT questions and do a practice DKT. Learner licences issued from 1 July 2007 will be valid for five years. When you are issued with your learner licence you will receive a Learner Driver Log Book so that you and your supervising driver(s) can record your driving experience. You will have to log at least 120 hours of supervised driving (which includes 20 hours of night driving) before you can attempt the Driving Test to move to a provisional licence. Night driving starts from sunset of one day and ends at sunrise on the following day. If you are 17 years of age or older, you are eligible to attempt the Driving Test if you have logged at least 120 hours driving time (which includes 20 hours of night driving) and have held your learner licence for at least 12 months (drivers over 25 are exempt from the tenure requirement). If you pass, you will be issued your provisional P1 licence. You can attempt the Driving Test in any type of light vehicle however you will be restricted from driving certain prohibited vehicles when a P licence is issued. For more information see the section on P1 and P2 vehicle and passenger conditions. |
