over 25 learner drivers wa 2023 Page 8

Ah, the mysterious world of learner driver regulations for those sprightly over-25s in Western Australia, 2023 edition. If you’re over 25 and just starting out, you’re in luck—the learner period is a mere 6 months, compared to the younger crowd’s 12 months. You’ll need to log at least 50 hours of supervised driving, including 5 hours at night, before you can sit for your P-plates test. Expect to shell out around $40 to $50 for your learner's permit, plus the usual costs for lessons and tests.

Keep an eye on the official WA Department of Transport site or ServiceCentral for the nitty-gritty, because, as always, the rules love to change just when you think you've got them nailed.
