A Quick Look at the Practical Driving Assessment

How Does the Assessor Judge?
Driver and Vehicle Services has set a Driver Licensing Competency
Standard which describes the components of driving in detail. The standard
represents what the Department of Transport expects of an experienced,
competent driver. The Driver Competency Standard is available online at
www.transport.wa.gov.au/dvs.
During your PDA, the assessor will compare your performance to that
described in the Competency Standard. To pass the PDA you must have made
significant progress towards meeting the Competency Standard.
During your PDA the assessor will look at the components of good driving
skills and at how well you put the components together. The assessor makes
these checks while you are doing every day driving tasks as part of your PDA.
They will look at how well you:
n operate and guide the car;
n put the road rules into practise;
n fit in with other traffic; and
n see and respond to hazards.
How does the PDA work?
The PDA has five sections – during three sections you will be asked to follow
directions and during two sections you will have to perform set exercises.
When you are following directions, the assessor will be telling you when to
make turns at intersections and guiding you on the journey from the PDA site
and back again.
When you are performing exercises, the assessor will explain to you what you
have to do. You will have to decide the best way to do the exercise for yourself.
The exercises cover the sorts of tasks drivers often have to do, such as finding
somewhere to park in a car park.

Pass Your Test With Us in 2019

Tips on passing your PDA with Confidence

Step 1 –

Learner’s permit
You must have a learner’s permit before you can start learning to drive. To
apply for a permit you must be over 16 years old and pass the theory test and
an eyesight test. When you are issued your permit you will also need to pay
for a Learner Guide and Log Book. Learner drivers aged 25 and above, who
are applying for a car (C class) licence, are exempt from the requirement to
complete a Log Book.
Step 2 – Start to learn to drive
You are now at step two of getting your licence and can start learning the
skills you need to become a safe novice driver. In this step, you need to find
supervising drivers who can assist you in safely gaining extensive on-road
driving practice.
To progress to the next step of getting your licence, you will need to gain as
much supervised driving experience as you can to prepare you to undertake the
Hazard Perception Test (HPT).
During your learner period you will need to record a minimum of 50 supervised
driving hours in your Log Book.

Why Are Learner Drivers Failing?

Growing rate of learner drivers failing practical tests in WA

Learner drivers are failing practical tests at a rate of more than 150 a day.

WA learner drivers are failing practical tests at a rate of more than 150 a day.

Figures provided to The West Australian by the Department of Transport reveal a growing percentage of learners are failing assessments — with more than 57,500 unsuccessful across the State last year.

Last year’s failure rate of almost 55 per cent was up from 54 per cent in 2016, 52 per cent in 2015 and 44 per cent in 2013. Learner drivers in country WA are more successful than those in the city, with 41 per cent failing.

DoT driver and vehicle services general manger Steve Mitchinson said the most common reason for failure was being underprepared.

“The Department of Transport encourages learner driver candidates to get as much supervised driving on as many different roads, weather and traffic conditions as possible,” he said.

Many candidates want to sit their test as quickly as possible but are simply not ready.

“Other top reasons candidates fail include lack of knowledge about road rules, not fully stopping at the stop line or rolling through, speeding and failing to undertake physical head checks of vehicle blind spots.”

Supervised drivers must complete 50 hours of supervised driving before taking the practical test.

Mr Mitchinson said technology that tracked and recorded assessments through audio and GPS was aimed at improving testing. “It is intended that the data collected will help better inform future learner drivers of the areas of learning upon which to focus,” he said.
