Your log book is your ‘ticket’ to your
driver’s licence
Who is required to fill it out?
Your qualified supervising driver is required to sign-off the driving
sessions as you complete them. You are required to record your
driving practice sessions at the back of the log book.
Your qualified supervising driver must sign off each practice
session for it to be valid.
The Driver’s Handbook
Should the qualified supervising driver enter their licence
details in the log book?
Yes, the log book has sections for recording the time and date
that the practice took place, the location, the number of kilometres
driven, the road, weather and traffic conditions and the name, licence
number and the signature of the qualified supervising driver.
If I have a previous interstate learner’s permit experience, can I
record this driving experience into my log book?
If you can produce evidence that you previously held an interstate
learner licence/permit, the relevant qualified supervising driver may
record previous driving experience in the log book.
What happens if I lose my log book?
The best way to avoid this situation is to take care of the log book to
ensure that you don’t lose it. Don’t leave it lying around; get yourself
a system to manage the things you need to do when you are learning
to drive. There are lots of things that you will have to think about and
plan for, simple things, like finding the ignition keys, putting on the ‘L’
plates, carrying your learner’s permit while driving and looking after
your log book.
If you lose your log book, a fee will be charged for its replacement.
If you wish to have your previous experience recognised you will
need to have your qualified supervising driver(s) re-enter and sign
any previous completed tasks and practice in the new log book.
Otherwise you will have to start all over again!
