I know somebody thats just bought an extremely expensive Mercedes luxury car. You should see the added extras and features. Its the smartest car I've seen! I can only dream of owning one.

Yeah, I think I will start with owning a car, never mind a very expensive car...

Yes, and I think I might start by learning to drive.

I've got my learner license. All I need now is time on the road and some cash for some driving courses.

You just have to remember not to keep crashing into cars

How old do you need to be to drive in Australia? I've been driving (as in qualified) for just over 3 years now...

And when I turn 21, I'll be able to drive my dad's company car

I've never crashed into a car... or anything else

I just didn't pass for ages cos I got nervous taking the test

Plus it took soooo long, I mean when you failed it was impossible to get a test for another couple of months

That is a major proble, it is one of the most ridiculous things about learning to drive.

@Josh seeyah, i hope you enjoyed it.

You have to be 15 years and 9 months to get a learners license. With this you can start learning and drive on the road with supervision. I think that you have to be at least 17 to get a provisional license. Thats when you need to pass a test, or pass a series of checkpoints to show you can work a car competently. After that you can drive without any supervision but with some limitations and you need to wait another 3 years before you can get a full license. Hope that answers your question.

The government has recently changed the law so it has gotten more complex.
