New South Wales driving licence conditions.. at DVinfo.net

This is for New South Wales Australia members, visitors and others of a certain age.

When you reach the grand old age of 85, you have to undertake a Roads/Traffic/Association bi-annual driving test to retain your licence. Here in Sydney, I found the National Roads Members Association does this RTA test so I booked a driving test with them.

Out of interest here’s the receipt I got after my successful biannual NRMA/RTA driving test earlier in Feb 2025. On the right I think S is speed, P is parking, D is driving, H is 1 hour And R is reversing. I never did any parking or reversing tests, if I failed any other part of the test, I might have had to do them.

After an hour assessing my normal driving the tester just ticked them all. If anyone knows that S, P and D mean something different, pls let us know. Hope this helps others reading this. Click to enlarge it.

Cheers.

I imagine the guy looked at your driving and after a short time thought "I can see you're going to totally blitz this thing so let's call it a day and I'll get on to the next one".

Congrats on passing with flying colours!

Hi Andrew, thanks.

For interested folk in NSW, there’s more. When my driving test was imminent, a few friends recommended I take a driving lesson to brush up and get my head in the right place.

Why? because apparently many people get psychologically pissed when they have to take a driving test, after they’ve been driving safely for many years without an accident. And during their test they make simple mistakes, enough to endanger their licence.

So I did, but the few driving schools I called don’t do just one lesson, they want callers who need a full driving course. Then I found the NRMA does do this, so I booked with them, and the final test as well.

Cheers.
