Do you want to drive large rigid trucks, coaches or articulated buses?

Licence Information

You may drive any rigid vehicle with 3 or more axles and tow a trailer with a GVM up to 9 tonnes (and within GCM limits). Also includes an articulated bus.

Pre-requisites
Participants must have held a class car for 2 years or LR/MR for 1 year, have no outstanding business with Transport SA (i.e. unpaid parking fines or speeding tickets) and have no medical conditions that would prevent the issue of commercial driver's licence.

Recommended Number of Lessons
Allan Miller Driving School recommends drivers upgrading to the HR licence receive 18 hours of instruction. Instruction is given in 3 hour time blocks to avoid driver fatigue. Required hours quoted are an average only - any additional hours required are discussed with individuals on a case by case basis.

Course Assessment
Allan Miller recommends the Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBT&A) approach for drivers seeking heavy vehicle driver training. Competency Based Training is a system where assessment takes place throughout the training program, and allows for re-training and re-assessment of errors. VORT (Vehicle On Road Test) is also available, and is a single pass/fail assessment at the end of the training program.

Locations available
We can provide instruction from Lonsdale or Wingfield (by arrangement).

Lesson prices
Class HR training is $95 per hour. A $25 administration fee is charged on your final CBT assessment on top of the lesson charge. A HR VORT costs $190.
Prices current as at 1 January 2010.

Latest News

September 2010 – Most people are unsure about when or if to indicate when leaving a roundabout. This is something that we should be aware of as the current penalty is 2 demerit points and the associated fine is approximately $240. The South Australian Handbook states: At all times, you should signal with your indicators to let other drivers know your intentions. Immediately before leaving the roundabout (i.e. when passing the exit before your exit) you must signal with your left indicator, unless it is impracticable to do so. This applies to turning left and right or continuing straight ahead. This tells drivers waiting to enter the roundabout where you intend to exit.
