Getting a Driving Licence

Hey guys, if you want to get a driver's licence, do you actually need to go to any driving school or attend driver education classes?  Or are you able to just get a licence as long as you pass your driving test? Thanks.

So long as you pass the Hazard Perception test (a computer test) and also the practical driving test, then you're all good to move onto the red P's.

But I would still advise doing maybe 1 or 2 lessons before hand because their are numerous rules which vicroads are quite strict about which are rather impractical...

And also the instructor can give you a rundown of what to expect on the test, any common problems people may come across and overall, help with any nerves prior to the test.
