Learner rider licence
You must be at least 16 years and 9 months old before you are
issued with a learner rider licence. However, you may book into
and attend a pre-learner course at the age of 16 years and 6 months.
You do not have to hold a driver licence to get a motorcycle licence.
Pre-learner courses
The pre-learner course is held over two days (3.5 hours each
day). Motorcycles, helmets, gloves and tuition are provided at
the training centre.
The pre-learner course is designed for people with no
motorcycle riding experience.
However, learning to ride a motorcycle requires a high level
of balance, co-ordination and concentration and not everyone has
these skills. If you can ride a bicycle and drive a manual car
you probably have the necessary basic skills. If you can’t
or if it is a long time since you did, you may require time to
progress through the training.
The training is a competency based course with a pass or fail
criteria. You will only be permitted to continue riding if you
have passed all of the competencies, in order. For your safety
and that of others, the instructor may stop you from riding during
the course. If you are stopped from riding, the instructor will
advise you of the best way to proceed with your training.
Note: If a scooter is required for training please nominate the
type of motorcycle at the time of booking.
After the course
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will be
issued with a pre-learner Certificate of Competence (green in
colour). A Certificate of Competence is valid for three months
from the date of issue.
To get a learner rider licence, go to your nearest motor
registry and:
Take your Pre-learner Certificate of Competence.
Take Proof of Identity documents.
Complete an application form.
Pass an eyesight test.
Pass the rider knowledge test. A fee is applicable and a booking
may be required (bookings for a knowledge test can now be made
from the myTests
section of this website or by phoning the RTA on 13 22 13).
Pay the licence fee.
You will then be issued with a learner rider licence, valid for
12 months.
Motorcycle learner riders must:
Clearly display a black-on-yellow L plate at the rear of the
motorcycle when riding. The letter L on the plate must not be
hidden.
Not ride faster than 80km/h and must observe the speed limit where
it is below 80km/h.
Not exceed zero blood alcohol concentration (this means you cannot
drink before riding). It is also illegal to ride under the influence
of drugs.
Not tow any trailer or vehicle.
Not ride within the boundaries of Centennial Park, Sydney.
Not carry passengers on a motorcycle.
Not ride motorcycles with an engine capacity over 660ml and a
power-to-weight ratio over 150kw/tonne and has not been approved
by the RTA and shown on the Approved motorcycles for novice riders
list.
Not use any functions of a mobile phone, including hands-free
devices while riding.
Wear an approved motorcycle helmet that has been properly fitted.
From 28 September 2009, demerit points apply to learner licence
holders. A learner licence will be suspended or refused if the
threshold of four (4) demerit points is reached or exceeded.
You must hold the learner licence for a minimum period of three
months before you can attend the pre-provisional course. Make
sure you book into a pre-provisional course at least 4 to 6 weeks
before your learner rider licence expires.
Learner rider licences issued from 1 July 2007 will be valid
for 12 months. If you have not passed the pre-provisional course
within 12 months, your learner rider licence will expire and you
will need to attend the pre-learner course again. Learner rider
licences issued before 1 July 2007 are valid for six months only
and you will need to pass the pre-provisional course within this
time to get your provisional rider licence.
