<h2>Getting Your Learner&#8217;s Licence</h2>
<p>Be aware that you <strong>can now ride LAMS approved bikes as a learner</strong> and, at the moment, for your first year (it&#8217;s called an RE licence).</p>
<p>To be eligible for a learner&#8217;s licence you must have held a car licence for at least 1 year.</p>
<p>You must also:</p>
<ul>
<li>Be 18 years of age</li>
<li>Complete the application</li>
<li>Show <a title="motorbike learner" href="http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/Home/Licensing/Driver_licence/Identification_requirements/" target="_blank"><strong>suitable evidence of ID</strong></a></li>
<li>Pass eyesight test</li>
<li>Declare you&#8217;re medically fit</li>
<li>Pay the written rules test</li>
<li>Pay the licence fee</li>
</ul>
<p>Then you have to pass the written test (<a title="licence test questions" href="https://www.service.transport.qld.gov.au/rrtexternal/SelectExam.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>here are some practice ones</strong></a>).  You get 5 questions and you have to get 4 right.</p>
<p>The written test is easy&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; especially if you&#8217;ve had some practice.  <a title="Practice tests" href="https://www.service.transport.qld.gov.au/rrtexternal/SelectExam.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>Do the practice ones</strong></a> and then get in and do the real thing.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16" title="q-ride-training" src="http://www.q-ride.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/q-ride-training.jpg" alt="q-ride-training" width="420" height="279" /></p>
<h3>You Have Your Learners &#8211; What&#8217;s Next?</h3>
