If caught cheating, you face serious penalties: 6-week ban from taking any driving test, Forfeit your test fee and must pay again when eligible, Cheating includes receiving unauthorized help or using prohibited materials during the test

Q: Can I start driving immediately after passing the DKT?

Yes, once you pass the DKT and receive your learner's licence, you can begin practicing driving immediately. However, you must always drive with a qualified supervisor who holds a full Australian driver's licence.
