If you hold a current Heavy Rigid (HR) or Heavy Combination (HC) vehicle licence, you can begin to learn to drive MC class vehicles.
You do not need to apply for a learner's permit.
When learning to drive you must be accompanied by a supervisor who is either:
- a licensed driving instructor holding an MC class or higher class driver's licence, (this includes a driving instructor who delivers MC class driver training for a DOT approved registered training organisation; or,
- an instructor in a youth driver education course holding an MC class or higher class driver's licence; or,
- a person who has held a current MC class driver's licence for at least 4 years.
You can also undertake training through one of our registered training organisations.
Please note that prior to undertaking any instruction in a MC class vehicle you will need to ensure that you meet the commercial vehicle medical standards for driving as outlined in Assessing Fitness to Drive national medical standards for licensing and clinical management guidelines.
