Here lies the problem, the theory test now comes in two parts questions and observation. She past the questios 100% but for some reason failed the observation test badly and feels she never can as she tried her hardest. How does the driving test system operate in australia?
A. First up it might vary in each State of Australia but in Queensland, as a migrant, you are expected to obtain a Qld Drivers Licence, to drive in Queensland. In my case it was a matter of presenting the UK licence and taking a thirty question multi-choice test on Queensland Road Rules, (much like the hioghway code); they also ask you to read off an Optician's eye chart ... you know read the next to bottom line. I think the passmark was 25 out of 30. The UK licence was stamped 'Not Valid in Qld'. Hope that information is current.
