Learning to drive is an important milestone in your life, but there are a lot of things to learn and remember. These tips will help you get the most out of your driving sessions and help you become a safe driver.

Before you get behind the wheel

Before starting your driving sessions:

review your knowledge of the road rulesput your L plates on your carstore your learner logbook in your glove box or another safe place (you will need to fill it out after every drive)decide where you are going to keep your learner licence (you will need to have it on you every time you drive).Finding a supervisor

You can drive with anyone you choose, as long as they have held an open licence for at least 1 year for the class of vehicle you will be driving.

It is a good idea to combine professional driving lessons with regular practice sessions with your parents or friends.

Driving practice

You must hold your learner licence for at least 1 year—this gives you plenty of time to practice your driving skills in a variety of situations.

You should spread your driving practice out over the entire learner licence period, instead of waiting until just before your practical driving test.

Weekly practice in different places is important for developing good driving skills.

Make sure you drive in different conditions—in the dry, in the wet, during peak hour, at dusk and at night.

When deciding to practice driving with a supervisor, make sure you are alert and focused.

Do not drive if you:

are tiredhave had alcohol—as a learner, you must comply with the no alcohol limitare affected by medication—either illegal or prescription drugs.Safe driving tipsGetting your car ready

Indicate these intentions correctly, such as when you want to change lanes or turn.

How close should you be to the steering wheel?

When you are sitting in the driver seat, stretch your arms out in front of you. Your wrists should reach the top of the steering wheel.

If not, adjust your seat until you're in the right position.
