How long is the driving test

Each driving test is estimated to last 45 minutes regardless of which driving test track you are allocated. Richmond like other test centres has multiple test routes. You must complete your assigned test route before your test can be marked. This means that the test make take more or less than the allocated time, depending on traffic or road works.

If you are doing a disability driving test the actual driving test is conducted on the same test tracks as any other driving test and will take the same amount of time. However when you complete the driving test your new licence will also have to be approved by the medical unit of the Roads & Maritime Services. As a result it will take longer and you should allow an extra 45 minutes.
