Hey brah's

My brothers GF is on her learners license and has accumulated 0 hours on her log book

In something typical of the new generation these days, she says she should be exempt from a logbook, because her mother has epilepsy and cannot be granted a license, and her father lives in some hoo flar dung rural ass community

I told my brother shes having a laugh, as the parents not being able to coach her does not preclude her from getting experience with someone else/driving school. Hes says its been done before, but then again that cun+ says a lot of things

Just wondering if anyone has heard of logbook hours being waived for exceptional circumstances, and the appeal will even be considered

Does she actually beleive she can get a license after doing zero hours? I'm sure you could probably get the hours needed reduced or people will just forge them, but at the end of the day a reasonable amount would still need to be done before even being good enough to pass the test.

You are not required to complete a logbook confirming your 100 hours of supervised on-road driving if:
•your application for an exemption to the logbook requirements has been approved
•you are 25 years of age or older
•you are under 25 years of age, and hold a foreign provisional or open type licence, and need a Queensland learner licence before taking a practical driving test.

Yes, you can get an exemption from doing the 100 hours. However, you have to hold your learners for two years and you must still pass the practical driving test.

Over 25's dont need a log book anyone under that age needs to have one and also MUST do the 100hrs. If her parents cannot teach her go through a driving school it isn't that hard. Oh and no offence to you mate but am sick of hearing people get exemptions for this kind of crap it is not one rule for them and one rule for everyone else

what this guy said ^

I think your best option is probably get a family friend to do up some hours with her, get some experience drivign fromt he driving schools for 1 hour theirs = 3 hours.

When you feel confident with her driving forge some hours.
I know people that have forged 90 hours, 70 hours etc. All passed first go, been driving for years without crashes etc.

100 hours in my opinion is set for people whom have never sat behind a wheel before. If she'shad some experience she should be fine..
this is just what it think however.

Wrong and Wrong. As I said you can get an exemption from doing the 100 hours yet you must hold your leaners for two years. I know several people who have done so, some for reasonabily stupid excuses such as "my parents work full time so they have no time to teach me". At the end of the day, the individual in question will still have to pass the practical driving test like everyone else.

This, I was granted an exemption due to the fact my mother doesn't have a license and my father only has his L's (Has open bike license and never needed his car license for some stupid reason). My only open license driver was my cousin and he worked 7 nights a week and didn't have the time. I applied stating the above reason and that i was finding it extremely hard to find someone to employ with me without a license etc. and few other legitimate reasons. I paid the fee and was it was granted the next week. Did my practical test and started a new job the day after. I had held my Learners permit for 2 years before i applied also.

Learner logbook exemptions

Exemptions are available for learner drivers who cannot complete, and record in a logbook, 100 hours of supervised on-road driving experience due to special circumstances.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for an exemption from the logbook requirements if you are able to prove that at least one of the following circumstances applies to you:

a car is not reasonably available for you to drive, to satisfy the logbook requirements
a suitable person is not reasonably available to supervise your driving, to satisfy the logbook requirements.
You may also be eligible for an exemption if you:

live in an area with a limited road network (for example, an island with a single road around it)
will not benefit from driving on the road network, and
are not likely to move from the area or have an opportunity to drive a car in an area with a diverse road network.
If you are granted an exemption, the time you are required to hold your learner licence is extended to a minimum period of two years.

The Exemption from logbook requirements information sheet (form F4480) provides further details for interested applicants.

Pretty sure you cant accumulate more than 30 hours with an accredited driver trainer? So it would have to be an O License holder or exemption

When i was going through my learners my mother had cancer and couldn't supervise me, also my father was off always too busy running the family business.

i done all my hours in about two months, hell i even offered to drive my friends around who HAD open licenses just to do my hours, if she wants it bad enough she will find a way.
