Logbook requirements
66 Logbook requirements
A young driver is eligible for a class C P1 provisional licence only if the following apply—
the young driver completes 100 hours of supervised driving in a car on a road in Australia;
at least 10 hours of the supervised driving is at night;
the young driver records details of the supervised driving in a logbook;
the details recorded in the logbook are verified by a supervisor under section 68(1);
the chief executive approves the young driver’s completed logbook under section 70.
For subsection (1)(a), the hours of supervised driving must be completed while the young driver holds a class C learner licence.
Note—
For credit for driving while the young driver held an interstate licence, New Zealand licence or recognised country licence, see division 4.
In calculating, for subsection (1)(a), the number of hours of supervised driving completed by the young driver, each hour or part of an hour, up to 10 hours, of supervised driving in a car on a road in Australia that is supervised by a driver trainer is to be multiplied by 3.
Examples—
1 A young driver completes 7.5 hours of supervised driving in a car on a road in Australia that is supervised by a driver trainer. In calculating, for subsection (1)(a), the number of hours of supervised driving completed by the young driver, the 7.5 hours is to be multiplied by 3 to equal 22.5 hours of supervised driving.
2 A young driver completes 11 hours of supervised driving in a car on a road in Australia that is supervised by a driver trainer. In calculating, for subsection (1)(a), the number of hours of supervised driving completed by the young driver, 10 of the 11 hours is to be multiplied by 3 to equal 30 hours of supervised driving.
Note—
See also section 76(4).
Subsection (1)(b) does not apply if the young driver has given a notice to the chief executive under section 177 or 178 about a mental or physical incapacity that is likely to adversely affect the young driver’s ability to drive safely at night.
This section applies subject to sections 78(2) and (3), 83(1)(b) and section 175(3)(a).
