Driving at night is considered more challenging and risky than driving during the day due to factors such as reduced visibility, increased fatigue, and greater likelihood of encountering intoxicated or distracted drivers on the road.
Therefore, the Queensland government has made it a requirement for learner drivers to log at least 10 hours of night driving as part of the 100 hours of supervised driving they need to complete before they can take the practical driving test .
This requirement is intended to ensure that learner drivers gain experience driving in different lighting conditions, and have the skills and confidence to safely navigate the roads at night. Research has shown that drivers who have more experience driving at night are less likely to be involved in accidents, and therefore the government has implemented this rule to make the roads safer for all.
