AUSTRALIA DRIVING TEST
Legal Age: 16
RED Rating: 3/5
The process of getting a licence in Australia is exhaustive. At the age of 16, you get a learner’s permit after which you get your probationary restrictive permit. You have to drive on the probationary permit for 2 years before taking a test for a full licence. New drivers have to log the number of hours spent with the instructors to ensure they have met the regulated umber of hours. Although the regulations are strict, but the accident rate is very high in Australia.
I don’t really know about other cities but in Karachi, people usually bribe or hire an agent for themselves which completes the process himself while you sit on a chair or couch and yawn and you only bother yourself for a picture for the card.
