Licencing laws in Queensland require learners to have at least 10 hours of their 100 at night. Victorian laws require at least 20 of their 120 hours to be night driving. The requirements are similar around the rest of the country and there's good reason for it. In order to be a safe and well-prepared driver, you must experience driving in many different conditions and night is no different. The rules mostly stay the same, but your perception and experience are vastly different when the sun goes down and your headlights go on.
A variety of No Yelling instructors in both Queensland and Victoria offer lessons in the evenings to help their students gain this valuable experience. Inquire now to be matched with a 5-star instructor and get that nig ht driving happening.

Important experiences in night driving
- Ensure your learner is diligent in checking their lights and that their windscreen is clean to allow for full visibility when it's dark.
- Discuss 'high beam' etiquette and if possible practice using high beams in an appropriate area.
- Ensure your learner knows how to position the rear-view mirror to avoid headlight reflection from other cars.
- Keep slightly more distance between themselves and the car in front of them.
- Highlight the importance of vigilant checking for signs and obstacles whilst driving.
