Who can sit the P1 driving test in Tasmania?

You can sit the assessment from 17, once you’ve met the learner time and hours. You then get your P1 licence once you have:

  • Held your learner licence for at least 12 continuous months
  • Logged your 80 hours, with your supervisory driver’s signed declaration
  • Passed the P1 driving assessment

Pass the hazard perception test first

Anyone who has to do a practical driving assessment must pass the HPT before booking it.

If you held an L2 licence before 1 December 2020

Different requirements apply. You get your P1 licence once you have:

  • Held your L2 licence for at least 9 continuous months
  • Logged at least 50 hours in your L2 logbook, with your supervisory driver verifying them and signing the Supervisory Driver table in the middle of it
  • Passed the P1 driving assessment

L2 licence holders don’t need the hazard perception test.
