Your learner permit is the first real step toward driving on your own in Canberra. With the mandatory road safety course, learner exam, identity documents, and Access Canberra fees to deal with, the whole process can feel like a maze. It doesn’t have to be. This guide walks through exactly how to get a learner…

Fewer than 1 in 3 learner drivers pass the ACT driving test on their first attempt, the lowest first-time pass rate anywhere in Australia. In Queanbeyan and across NSW, the number is better but still hovers around just 56%. So, how can you pass your driving road test successfully on the first attempt? It always…

Getting behind the wheel for the first time is exciting and nerve-wracking in equal measure. If you live in Tuggeranong, one of Canberra’s largest districts, with over 89,000 residents across 19 suburbs, you’re in one of the best parts of the ACT to learn.

That distinction trips up a lot of learners, especially anyone who’s heard friends in the ACT talk about their logbook hours, only to find the numbers don’t match up. Queanbeyan learners follow the…

Learning to drive in Canberra is a bit different from learning anywhere else in Australia. Between the roundabout-heavy road network, the ACT’s own logbook system, and the fact that you might be navigating NSW border rules if you live in Queanbeyan, it’s easy to feel a little lost before you’ve even started the car.
