<Dd> Provisional Licence applicants must be at least 17 years of age, held a Learner Licence for a minimum of six months . Two methods of testing are available for Learner's to progress to a provisional licence . The first method, is to complete a competency based scheme with a ACT government accredited driving instructor . In lieu of a single practical driving test, learner drivers may, during their accredited instructor driving lessons, complete a log book containing 22 driving proficiencies . Once a learner has passed all driving proficiencies in the log book, the log book is turned into the ACT Roads and Transit Authority, and a provisional licence is issued . <P> The second method in which a Provisional Licence may be obtained, is through recording driving experience in the same logbook, with a supervisor who has held an open licence for twelve months for the class of vehicle used . The difference in using this method to obtain a provisional licence is that the log book only records time spent driving, and not the Learner's ability to drive . While no minimum number of hours are required, Learners are advised when obtaining their Learner's licence, that 50 or more practical hours are recommended before attempting the practical test . Using this method, provided the driver has held their Learner's licence for a period greater than 6 months, they may book into an ACT Roads and Transit Authority Centre, and attempt the practical driving test . </P> <P> If either method is used, and the driver has obtained their licence in an Automatic transmission vehicle, an "A" condition is placed on the licence, for a period of 12 months . This condition restricts the license holder, for the duration of this period, to driving vehicles with automatic transmission only . To remove the condition prior to 12 months, the provisional driver must re-attempt the practical driving exam in a manual transmission vehicle . The Provisional Licence is valid for three years . Provisional drivers must display red on white "P Plates" for three years unless: (a) they take an additional road safety program Road Ready Plus after six months of obtaining their Provisional Licence; or (b) they are over 26 years of age and held their licence for six months . Provisional holders who have taken the Road Ready Plus (RRP) course, (commonly called a "P - off" course), or are over 26 years of age also get an additional four demerit point allowance . A "PC" condition is displayed on the licence, which indicates that the provisional driver can drive with "P plates not displayed". Provisional drivers must have a zero blood - alcohol limit . No speed restrictions are imposed on ACT learner or Provisional drivers, and they are permitted to drive the posted speed limit . </P> </Dd> <P> The second method in which a Provisional Licence may be obtained, is through recording driving experience in the same logbook, with a supervisor who has held an open licence for twelve months for the class of vehicle used .
