South Australia, car licence
All 120 SA learner practice questions, with answers
All 120 original South Australia practice questions for the car licence are on this page, in 13 topics, the largest topic being give way with 20 questions. They were written for this site and dated 27 August 2026, they are not the official question bank, and each one carries the correct answer and the rule behind it.
South Australia’s car bank contains 120 questions divided among 13 topics. Give way stands out at 20 questions, more than twice the size of most sections. Speed limits, Roundabouts, Traffic lights and signs, Signals and lane use, Alcohol, drugs and fatigue, and Pedestrians and vulnerable road users each have 9. Overtaking and following, Seatbelts and passengers, Mobile phones and distraction, Give way and intersections, and Parking and stopping each contain 8, while Emergencies and hazards has 6. Give way deserves extra practice because it is both the largest bank section and a major part of the official test structure.
The official assessment is the SA theory test. It runs in two parts: part one has eight give way questions, with no margin for error, then part two has 42 questions and requires 32 correct. The topic named Give way is therefore especially important, and careful practice on right of way can serve both parts of the sitting. The test comes during the learner permit stage, before the later P1 provisional steps. South Australia also requires a hazard perception test before you can apply for a P1 provisional licence.
These are original practice questions written for this site, not the official question bank. Service SA does not publish the SA theory test bank. Each answer gives the correct choice and cites the road rule, allowing you to check the basis for your response. The official handbook remains the authority, especially where a practice explanation prompts a question about a particular situation. Begin with Give way, then rotate through the other topics and return to any rule you miss. The even spread of smaller sections means a strong result depends on more than mastering one large topic.
Where these questions come from
Original practice questions written for this site. Not the official question bank. They were written against the current South Australia road rules, with the rule cited under every answer. Service SA does not publish the SA theory test question bank, so nothing on this page is the wording you will meet in the sitting.

Why the whole set is on the page
These questions were written for this site, so there is no reason to put them behind an account. Reading them is not the same as being ready for the sitting, though: the SA theory test simulator draws from them in the shape of a sitting, and the 21 tests in the SA ladder mark each answer with the rule underneath it.
