Let’s follow the NSW pathway of how to get your license:
1. You get your Learners (L Plates) – DKT Test
2. Provision (P1)) – Practical Driving Test & Other requirements
3. Provisional (P2)
4. Full License.
In this article, we’ll focus specifically on the transition learner drivers must make from their Learner Licence (L Plates) to a Provisional P1 Licence (Red P Plates) in New South Wales, and especially near Macquarie Park
For most drivers under 25, this stage presents the biggest challenge in the licensing journey. It requires:
- Completion of 120 mandatory supervised driving hours (including 20 hours of night driving)
- Passing the Practical Driving Test (Driving Test Assessment) – For learners taking lessons near Macquarie Park, the RMS Driver Testing Centre inside Macquarie Shopping Centre is your closest testing centre
At Autogear Driving School, we can help. We understand completing 120+ supervised driving hours is no small task and have seen countless student struggle to get their required hours. One of the most efficient and widely recommended ways to accelerate your progress is by engaging a qualified driving instructor. In New South Wales, every 1 hour completed with a qualified instructor can count as 3 logbook hours (up to the allowable limit).
However, not all instructors deliver the same value.
To truly maximise your investment, you need instructors who:
- Focus on local routes and areas – especially driving instructors that specialise near Macquarie Park
- Are dedicated professionals in their craft
- Understand how to teach differently abled learners and grow their confidence
