Is anyone having trouble getting the 100 hours you need to get a license if your under 25? What happens if you have no one willing or capable of teaching you? Your parents may be able to drive but are no good at passing the knowlege on and you mightn't know many people. To get all the hours through a professional would be expensive.It'd be about 6,000 dollars.

My son was fortunate in that I drive around 50,000 km per year with work. So school holidays combined with the fairly odd day off school saw him log well in excess of the required 100 hours easily. We did of course throw in some pro lessons to tidy up bad habits (possibly acquired from me lol).

He passed his test first go no problem whatsoever. He did have some prior skill and experience as I did teach him some driving skills early on, off public roads etc. which I think was a big help. He did the intro defensive driving or awareness course as a learner also and we are currently trying to arrange a time to get him into the next level course at Mt Cotton in Brisbane.
