Fortunately, British immigrants don’t need to sit a driving test - my wife was especially relieved about this. It took her three attempts to get her driving licence in the UK and she was dreading having to sit a driving test in Brisbane.

All you have to do here is sit a reasonably easy driving theory test - which costs around $16.

You need to answer 30 questions about driving and traffic laws. I don’t know the pass rate but I would think it’s pretty high. Before you sit the test, it’s best to read through a little book called “Your Keys to Driving in Queensland”.
