Get your driver licence

You must learn the road rules before you take the theory test. This is called the driver knowledge test.

To learn the road rules, you can either:

• learn the road rules in the NT Road User's handbook and take a practice driver knowledge test.
• or enrol in DriveSafe NT - see below.
