FAQ - Getting your licence in Australia
Obtain your scooter license in the various States of Australia is a straight forward process that differs only slightly from state to state. Scooters are particularly easy to gain a license for as the twist and go action of the throttle means no gears to change and less to worry about when enjoying your ride. Typically, you will need to sit a simple multiple answer knowledge test to gain your L plates. This will allow you to go to attend an authorised training venue where you get to take a real bike though its paces. You will gain valuable skills in risk assessment and training that will help keep you safe on the road. As mentioned above, getting a bike license can differ from state to state so the links will connect you with the appropriate authority in your state for further information on getting your license.
