We are currently experiencing high demand for driving assessments in southern Tasmania, which may result in longer wait times for bookings.


To help you secure an earlier appointment for a P1 driving assessment, you may wish to book with one of our Authorised P1 Driving Assessors. These assessors are approved to conduct P1 assessments independently and may offer more flexible availability.
