Northern Territory · Driver Knowledge Test · NT licence rules

How much supervised driving practice must you complete before your NT practical driving test?

The answer

  • A compulsory 50-hour logbook
  • A compulsory 120-hour logbook, including 20 hours at night
  • A compulsory 100-hour logbook
  • No minimum hours — but the handbook notes that 50 or more hours cuts your crash risk on P plates by about a third Correct

Why that's the answer

The NT sets no minimum number of supervised hours before the practical test — what is compulsory is holding your learner licence for six continuous months. The Road Users' Handbook still urges as much practice as you can get, noting that learners with 50 or more hours of supervised driving reduce their risk of crashing once they are on their Ps by about one third.
