Getting your provisional licence in the ACT? You may be required to pass an online Hazard Perception test. Here is an example of a video used in the simulation.

What is the Hazard Perception Test?

Access Canberra says that the Hazard Perception Test (HPT) is an online computerised test that measures a person's ability to detect and respond to potentially dangerous situations on the road. Research shows the value of HPT in predicting subsequent crash risk, including some evidence that found those drivers who failed HPT at least twice were more likely to be involved in a crash compared to those who passed on their first attempt.

UPDATED 21st April 2020

 We are Online from today! 

To all of our customers we thank you for your patience and support while we worked through the current health concerns.

We are now confident that it is safe to follow government guidelines for the ACT and continue offering our services.

We have also taken the opportunity to streamline our online system. From today any NEW packages or NEW Bookings can be used for both MANUAL or AUTO lessons. Existing vouchers will need to be booked using the OLD DRIVING LESSONS menu as per the screenshot below. These will remain specific to Auto or Manual as purchased. We will be progressively changing the old vouchers over to new ones.

As you may be aware the ACT Licence System is changing on Jan 1, 2020.

We have taken this information from the Justice department web page to help with those frequently asked questions.

If you have a Learner Permit issued before Jan 1, 2020 there are no changes.

For new Learner Permit holders you will need to complete the required logbook hours.

10 hours with our accredited trainers will count for up to 30 hours of your logbook.

These packages can give you up to 30 hours of logbook credit! 

After a significant review process we understand that ACT Licencing rules will be changing on January 1st, 2020.

We think this is a great opportunity for existing customers to focus on their competencies and get your licence before the end of the year. The new rules will apply for new learners permits issued or renewed after Jan 1 2020.

All of the details are not fully released yet, however the link below will take you to the Justice and Community Safety Directorate release on the changes. Check out the details here:

Ready for your first solo road trip?

There is a lot to consider and remember when you set out on road trip. Broadly speaking any successful drive requires adequate preparation and a clear focus on the task at hand.
