Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions before you book your first lesson? Here’s what Sydney learners ask us most.
Must a learner be accompanied by an appropriate supervisor at night?
Yes. Just like daytime driving, every night driving session must be accompanied by an appropriate supervisor who holds a full licence, so your hours count toward your logbook.
Are learners over 25 required to log night driving hours in NSW?
No. Learners aged 25 and over are exempt from the logbook requirement altogether, though practising at night is still worth doing before the test.
Does night driving count differently in the logbook than day driving?
No, hours are logged the same way, but at least 20 of your total 120 hours must specifically be night hours, meaning driving between sunset and sunrise.
What’s the best way to start practicing night driving?
Start with short drives on quiet, familiar streets near home, then build up to busier roads as your confidence grows over a few weeks.
Do I need a professional instructor for night driving lessons?
It isn’t required, but it helps a lot, especially if you’re nervous about driving after dark or want feedback on specific skills like managing glare or reading unfamiliar roads.
