What is covered?

Part 1 of the Driver Qualification Test (DQT), advanced safe driving knowledge, is based on information from road safety research about lowering crash risk, particularly for drivers with only a few years of driving experience.

It will test your knowledge of all the information contained in the DQT Handbook.

In particular, Part 1 assesses your knowledge of:

  • Understanding and managing driving risk;
  • Adverse consequences of road crashes;
  • Causes of road crashes;
  • Motivation and driving behaviour;
  • Risk taking and driving;
  • Alcohol, drugs and driving;
  • Fatigue and crash risk;
  • Distractions and crash risk;
  • Expectancies;
  • Looking out for yourself and others; and
  • Hazard perception skills.

You will need to read the Handbook carefully before attempting the test.
