License Information

To obtain the Victorian Learners Permit, you must be 16 years of age. You must pass the Car Learner Permit Test.

To pass the Car Learners Permit Test you will need to learn the information contained in the book, Road To Solo available at newsagents and VICROADS or you can download the PDF files from VICROADS. We recommend you purchase the book.

VICROADS have provided on-line test questions to make learning the road rules easier.

Once you have the knowledge contained in the Road To Solo, and have passed the on-line test questions provided by VICROADS, it's time to book a test with VICROADS. Phone 13 11 71 (Mon-Sat 8.30am - 5.00pm) or go to VICROADS 87 Princes Drive Morwell, Victoria 3840.

When you have passed your Car Learners Permit Test, pick your favourite lessons package from our website and make a Booking on-line with Buzz Box Driving School or by calling 51222903.

Learners should complete a minimum of 120 hours of on-road driving practice. This is best achieved with a driving school instructing you according to the Victorian Road Rules and safe driving practices. Frequent trips out on the road with responsible adult drivers in varied weather conditions will help make you a better prepared P-Plate driver. Whilst you are learning, it's recommended that you log your different driving experiences to make sure you have varied experience in all conditions. All new learners under the age of 21 who got their learners permit after July 1 2007 will need to log all hours in the official driving log book. Buzz Box Driving School will provide you with certification for the hours you spend learning with us.

When you are ready for your Probationary Licence Drive Test, you must first pass a Hazard Perception Test. You must be at least 17 years and 11 months, and the test must be done at a VICROADS office. Before you do the Hazard Perception test make sure to visit our Hazard Perception Test Tips page.

You must be 18 years old, and you must have held your Learners Permit for a minimum of 12 months before you are eligible to sit for your Probationary Licence. If you are 21 years of age or over but under 25 years of age, you must hold your learner permit for at least six months. If you are 25 or older, you need only to have held your Learners Permit for 3 months. The Driving Test consists of an eyesight test and practical drive test with a VICROADS examiner in the vehicle. The duration is approximately 20 minutes. Our practical drive test web page contains information pertinent to your test.

At Buzz Box Driving School we will guarantee that you will get your License first time or you will not pay to use "Buzz"or our instructor at future re-tests. You will have to pay VICROADS their going testing rate. If you do not pass your test we will review what mistakes were made, take you out and run through the rules again, and go with you for the second test. We don't expect you to pay us again. We know what VICROADS is covering in the test; we will make sure that you know it too and we won't sign you off until you are competent in all those areas.

The first time test guarantee is subjected to the following conditions:

  • Having been taught to drive by Buzz Box Driving School instructors for a minimum of five lessons; and...
  • Having reached a standard that Buzz Box Driving instructors considers is safe to drive on the roads; and further,
  • Having been booked in as a licence candidate for the test with Vicroads by a Buzz Box Driving School instructor;
  • The learner has passed 2 practice test runs with a Buzz Box instructor prior to the VICROADS test and
  • Having completed 120 hours in an official log book;
  • The first test was not failed by an immediate failure condition ie, crash situation, running a red light or stop sign or mounting a kerb etc. (A full list of immediate failure possibilities will be reviewed during your instruction.)

Note: In order to take advantage of our re-testing offer, you must re-test within two months of the original fail date.
