Driving tests available from Monday

LEARNER drivers will be able to book in for their test as of Monday after the backlog of driving examinations booked before tests were suspended due to COVID-19 were cleared.

Practical driving tests were suspended in late March and resumed for priority customers on June 15.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said L-platers eager to get their P-plates could book their test from Monday.

“Thanks to the efforts of our hardworking driving examiners and because Queenslanders have done such a good job stopping the spread of coronavirus, we can take bookings for all learner drivers,” he said.

“So far, we’ve completed 10,749 car and truck tests and have another 15,973 tests due to take place.”

The fee for learner licence renewals will continue to be waived until mid September.

This includes learner licences that have expired.
