getting license over 25

Ah, the late bloomer's guide to Australian driving licences. If you're over 25, the good news is the graduated licensing system is a bit kinder. You generally go straight to a probationary licence after passing your driving test, skipping the lengthy learner phase that younger folks endure. Key points: you need to hold a learner permit for at least 3 months, complete at least 120 hours of supervised driving (including 20 at night), and pass the practical driving test. The probationary period lasts 2 years, during which restrictions apply. For detailed steps, check your local state or territory's transport authority.
