Test duration
The test takes a total of one hour to administer. This time allows for:
• meeting the applicant
• conducting the pre-drive vehicle safety check
• conducting a 45 minute practical drive
• adding up the test score sheet at the end of each stage
• providing feedback to the applicant on their performance at the end of the test.
The test comprises two stages.
• Stage 1 of the test takes 10 minutes and is a set of relatively simple driving tasks conducted in a less complex traffic environment designed to assess the applicant’s driving ability. This stage is conducted in speed zones of up to 60km/h and determines whether the applicant is a sufficiently skilled and safe driver to proceed to the more challenging driving tasks and environments of Stage 2 of the test.
An applicant who does not achieve a satisfactory score in Stage 1 is not permitted to undertake Stage 2 of the test. In this way, applicants who are not ready to tackle the more challenging tasks in Stage 2 are screened out before they can pose a danger to themselves and other road users.
• Stage 2 of the test takes 35 minutes and is designed to assess the applicant’s ability to perform more challenging tasks in moderately challenging environments within speed zones of 60km/h and over.
To pass the RLT, an applicant must demonstrate safe decision-making, observance of road rules and satisfactory car-handling skills throughout the whole test.
Stages 1 and 2 of the RLT must be undertaken during a single test booking. They cannot be split into separate appointments.作者: fengshens 时间: 2013-3-15 08:22:49
