Practical Driver Testing

Dear friends,

We have received advice from Service NSW and ADTA that Practical Drivers Testing (the P’s test) will recommence from Monday November 8 and can be booked on-line from this time.

Anyone undergoing a test must be double vaccinated or have a negative PCR test that is less than 72 hours old. A negative Rapid Antigen test will not be accepted. These requirements will continue indefinitely, and are not anticipated to change on December 15 when general restrictions are relaxed for those who are unvaccinated.

Good luck everyone 😃

Great news

As of 11 October, Service NSW restarting driver testing service across NSW.

In the first instance, they are reaching out to certain customers to rebook driver tests, such as those who require a test for medical reasons to maintain their licence and those who require an aged driver test that has been deferred. Those who previously had a booking when the service was suspended will be contacted following these customers. Your patience is appreciated as we navigate the high demand.

If you do not receive a call to reschedule your test over the coming weeks, please call Service NSW Contact Centre on 13 77 88 or visit a service centre to rebook your test.

You will be required to show proof of a double vaccination or of a negative Covid test result from a sample taken in the previous 3 days to sit your driving test.

Get vaccinated

Dear friends!

The FORMULA driving school team is excited to welcome you and we hope that your health and mood are positive and ready for a successful experience with us. We continue working outside of LGAs of concern. All our driving instructors are fully vaccinated, which means there shouldn’t be any risk involved at our end. We also come equipped with disinfectant kits so that no one can get sick while we’re on the road learning new skills together. What could make this experience better? Scanning our QR code is required.

We are very much looking forward to the day when our population reaches a healthy 70-80% vaccination rate. That way, Service NSW can resume driving tests and provide more opportunities for people who want to get their driving licence! We are at the bottom of the line waiting for some good news to be announced in a few weeks. We will announce them immediately on our website and social media. Due to long hiatus in testing, we also expect an increased demand for driving lessons starting from October-November this year. So please make sure you prebook well ahead with us.

In the future, it is likely that vaccinations will be mandatory for driving schools students. As such we recommend all those who plan learning to drive and taking their driving tests to get vaccinated.

Good luck everyone
