PASSING THE LEARNER DRIVER THEORY TEST
- South Australia
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.
To pass the Theory Test -
know the book! Simple as that! The answers are all there!
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 If you borrow a copy, the information could be out of
date.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.

The Give Way Rules
Before you can attempt the
main (Multiple Choice) part of the Learner Test, you have to get 100%

The Give Ways are

For your Learner Test you
have to get them all correct! On the road you have to make instant give
way decisions. Who should wait? Who should go?
Learn them! Practice them!
Use the
RAA
Learner's Test to make sure!
If you have
trouble with the Give Way rules, check out
Know Your Give Way Rules.
