DKT- A computerised test of 25 short videos, taking up to about 45 minutes.
- You can sit it from 17 years and 11 months while holding a current Victorian car learner permit.
- You must pass it before you can take the drive test.
- It applies to everyone getting a probationary licence, including drivers aged 21 or over.
In each video you watch a real traffic situation and show when it is safe to do something, such as slow down or make a turn. For some items you click the mouse button at the moment it is safe to act. For others there is no safe moment, so you should not click. The test shows how well you observe the whole road and anticipate hazards.
Tips
- Learn to anticipate: ask yourself what could happen next, not just what is happening now.
- Practise on real roads in many conditions during your learner period.
- Use the official VicRoads Hazard Perception Test practice material before you book.
