Can You Use Your Personal Vehicle for a Driving Test?

Yarra City Driving School · 2023-12-24T10:20:17.789Z

When taking a driving test, it's important to make sure your vehicle is in good working condition and meets the requirements set by the testing agency. Failing to do so can result in an immediate failure of the test, even before you've started driving. Some specific things to check for include the condition of your brakes, lights, and tires, as well as the functionality of your wipers and washer fluid. Using a vehicle with an electronic park brake may also result in an automatic fail. To avoid these issues, it's always recommended to book your test with an instructor, who can ensure that your vehicle meets the necessary requirements. If you're still desiring to use your own vehicle for the VicRoads driving test it must meet certain requirements. It must be: • Registered, roadworthy and clean • Equipped with both driver and passenger side mirrors • Have a functioning windscreen and rear window demister (where fitted) • Have seatbelts for all occupants • Be able to maintain a comfortable temperature • Have ‘L’ plates • Have a working primary speedometer (as fitted by the manufacturer) that is easily visible to the testing officer from the front and rear passenger seats • Have the ability to turn on the headlights (low beam) during the test • Have a centrally mounted handbrake that the front passenger can operate if necessary (not required if a driving instructor is in the front passenger seat) • Have doors that can be opened by the testing officer from inside the vehicle • Have normal manual transmission if you want a manual driver license to be issued Using a professional driving instructor for your Vicroads driving test has several advantages: • The Vicroads testing officer can see that you have received professional driving lessons • Your driving instructor has likely explained the testing procedure and the types of instructions you can expect from the Vicroads testing officer • Your driving instructor has taken you over testing routes, giving you an idea of the format of the driving test, even if you haven't covered all the Vicroads testing routes
