Driver licensing

Get your L

You can get your learner's (L) licence on or after your 16th birthday. To get your L, you’ll need to pass the knowledge test.

To pass the knowledge test, you’ll need to get 40 out of 50 multiple-choice questions right. Passing it ensures you understand the rules of the road and means you’ve started thinking about safe driving behaviours before you start driving with a supervisor.
