Having seen just how easy it is to get a license here I say it should be much harder.
In Australia we have 3 licenses you must acquire before obtaining your full open license.
First license is your learners license (yellow L plates on car). You must hold it for 12 months minimum and you must log (in supplied log book) 120 hours of driving (with at least 20 hours of night driving). This MUST be with a fully licensed driver or paid professional instructor. Your limited to 80km/h speed limit and 0.00BAC.
Once you have logged your hours 120 hours, held license for 12 months and ticked off all completed skill (reverse parking, proper use of braking, hill starts etc) than you can sit for the drivers test. If you fail you have to book in for another test, pay again and continue until you pass.
If you pass you move onto your Provisional 1 license. You can finally drive by yourself however you have restrictions. You must wear red P plates on your car to tell everyone plus cops what license you hold. Must hold this license for minimal 12 months and restricted to 0.00BAC and 90km/h speed limit. Between 11pm to I think 5am you can only have ONE passenger in the car. You are also NOT allowed to drive high powered cars like V8's or Turbo vehicles.
Once that is done you sit for a computer test. Fail have to book in again. Pass you move onto your next license.
Next license is Provisional 2 license. You must wear green P plates on your car to tell everyone plus cops what license you hold. You must hold your license for 24 months minimum. Your limited to 0.00BAC and 100km/h speed limit. You cannot drive high performance vehicles like V8's or turbo vehicles.
Do another computer test
Hooray you move onto your full open license with no restrictions. It only takes 4 years to obtain.
Keep in mind if you lose your license while on Provisionals you must start it from the beginning of that license. The cops also LOVE picking on provisional drivers.
