Practice for the ACT Road Rules Knowledge Test, the 35-question computerised multiple-choice test you pass as part of the Pre-Learner Licence Course before applying for your Ls. In the real test some questions are mandatory and must all be right, and up to four general knowledge questions may be wrong; ACT does not say which questions are mandatory, so this practice test marks a pass at 31/35, and the 30-minute timer is an ExamRoo practice setting. Questions come from the ACT Road Rules Handbook and current ACT law: licensing, phones, alcohol, speed, give way, light rail and parking. Not affiliated with Access Canberra or the ACT Government.
5 Most Common Road Rules Knowledge Test Sample Questions & Answers
Preview 5 practice questions with answers and explanations that name their source.
In the ACT, what is the youngest age at which you can get a learner car licence?
You must be at least 15 years and 9 months old to get an ACT learner car licence. 16 years and 9 months is the age the ACT handbook gives for a learner motorcycle licence, not a car licence (Access Canberra, Get your learner driver licence).
What must you finish before you can apply for an ACT learner driver licence?
You must complete the Pre-Learner Licence Course and pass the Road Rules Knowledge Test before you apply for your Ls. The practical driving assessment comes later, before your Ps (City Services, Learner and provisional driver safety).
How are the mandatory questions in the ACT Road Rules Knowledge Test marked?
Some questions are mandatory because they cover required competency areas, and all of them must be answered correctly. The four allowed errors apply only to the general knowledge questions (NI2026-318, Schedule 1, item 5).
In the ACT Road Rules Knowledge Test, how many general knowledge questions can you get wrong and still pass?
The test has 35 multiple-choice questions. All mandatory questions must be right, and four incorrect answers are allowed among the general knowledge questions (NI2026-318, Schedule 1, item 5).
You passed the ACT Road Rules test but have not yet applied for your learner licence. How long does the pass stay valid?
The ACT Road Rules test is valid for 2 years. Five years is how long the learner licence itself lasts, not the test pass (Access Canberra, Get your learner driver licence).
