Writing in the logbook hours (1 Viewer)

[theoburray]

Firstly I've done about 118 hours and most of them are on Residential and Main Roads, just want to know if the assessor asks about the type of roads when he looks at your logbook?

I've done a bit of freeway, gravel etc but the majority is Residential and Main since that's all my parents can really take me on in their spare time and they've never really needed to go down the freeway.

My first logbook got ruined so I've had to write all my hours in Excel.

I have 224 entries and only around 20 of them I've had some freeway experience which seems good enough I mean that's still around 10 or so hours.

Bascially what I'm asking is, does the assessor just look at the hours and minutes and tick it off (also looks at odometer I know that) or does he expect you to have been on every single road and etc. My hours and experiences are all legit and I don't want the assessor to think otherwise.

Pretty much just the hours. Though you may want to get a proper logbook before trying to go for your P's.

 

[cosmo kramer]

hahaha you actually bothered to do the full hours

 

[zombie omie jay]

lol cunt they dont/arent allowed to care what mixture of roads you did your hours on, as long as you did 100 in day and 20 at night or whatever it is

 

[cosmo kramer]

50% of my log book was faked why would anybody not fake it its so easy

they dont even care

 

[slyhunter]

Yeah seriously, they don't care as long as the hour requirements are met.

 

[red-butterfly]

they really dont care at all... just as long as you have 120 hours you'll be fine

For the odometre i just put 0 start then 6km from one place to another. like i aways put 0 start then say 7km.. Is this correct?
Say if you fail first time and want to attempt second time do you need your log book?

I think you're meant to use the actual numbers. So something like: 124384 start 124390 end

Say if you fail first time and want to attempt second time do you need your log book?

I'm pretty sure you don't.

Lol my logbook is so messy.

I write it all and my parents just sign it without looking

(but i cannot fake much otherwise they will notice the dramatic hours jump)

I'm pretty sure you don't.

oh no, because i always reset the odometre to 0. I hope they don't mind because its too late now :s

I am sure they won't. I reackon if you keep doing what you are doing currently and explain it on the day, they won't mind.

 

[slyhunter]

They could reject it you know.

 

[powlmao]

People at my school did it like that and they didn't get rejected.

Depends on the RTA employee.

Did anyone here actually do the full hours? Apart from the OP.

Yep. The whole 120. It's actually pretty easy to do.

+1, the hours add up quickly although I did go on a couple of country trips so the hours racked up well

 

[iRuler]

In all seriousness I might do all the hours, going to get lessons for 10 hours which count for 30, and that means only need 100 total, so maybe.

I ended up doing about 134 hours before going for P's.

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Yes I have almost done 120. However, it's really only 100 because of the 10 triple time driving lessons.
