Free VicRoads Learners Test Practice

The Victorian Hazard Perception Test shows 25 short driving videos in up to 45 minutes, your first online attempt is free, and you must pass it before the drive test for a probationary P1 licence.

You must hold a current Victorian learner permit and be at least 17 years and 11 months old. Every learner driver who wants a probationary P1 licence has to pass it, and some overseas licence holders converting to a Victorian licence must sit it as well.

In Victoria the Hazard Perception Test is the gate to the drive test. You sit it on your learner permit once you meet the age rule, and a pass is what lets you book the drive test for a probationary P1 licence.

The test takes up to 45 minutes and shows 25 short videos of driving situations. You react by slowing down, stopping or keeping your speed, and a late response or a wrong decision means you do not pass. For the online test VicRoads recommends a desktop computer, laptop, iPad or tablet, and does not recommend phones. The result arrives as soon as you finish.

Online, the first attempt is free. A later online attempt is $22.10 on the VicRoads Ls and Ps fees page and $20.70 on the VicRoads Hazard Perception Test page, so the two VicRoads pages disagree. In person the test is $44.00: $21.90 plus the $22.10 appointment fee.

Online through your myVicRoads account, under Licences and permits, then Register for the Hazard Perception Test Online. In person at a VicRoads Customer Service Centre, booked online, by phone or at a centre, which is also the route for taking it in another language.

Transport Victoria publishes nine free practice tests that look like the real VicRoads test. You record a reaction with the SLOW DOWN button, or the space bar on a PC, see feedback after each video and repeat them as often as you like.

If you do not pass, you can try again, and each new online attempt is charged. Once you pass, you have 12 months to pass the drive test, or you must sit the Hazard Perception Test again.

VicRoads suggests plenty of supervised driving in varied conditions, spotting hazards and talking them through with your supervisor, and reviewing road rules and hazard perception techniques on the myLearners website. Its three step habit is See, scanning the road for potential hazards; Think, planning your response; and Do, adjusting your speed or position. For the Transport Victoria practice tests, use a desktop with a widescreen monitor, check the mouse and volume work, sit somewhere quiet and update your browser. The demonstrations need real time responses to video, so they do not work with screen readers. Overseas licence holders taking the online test must have completed the learner permit test within the past 12 months and had their identity and licence verified first.

The learner permit knowledge test asks 32 multiple choice questions and needs 78% correct. It is sat as part of the learner permit appointment. Our Victorian questions are written from scratch against the current road rules, with the rule cited on every answer, because the Victorian handbook and legislation are Crown copyright rather than open licensed.

120 supervised hours in the logbook before the drive test.

More than one Victorian drive test in five ends early. The examiner stops the drive on a critical error, so the fail can arrive long before the route does.

72.2% across 492,504 tests from January 2024 to April 2026, released under freedom of information. First attempts pass 74.2%, falling to 51.7% by a fifth attempt, and more than one test in five is stopped part way through for a critical error.
