Yes.

The Learn2go logbook is officially recognised by the Department of Transport and Main Roads and it is perfectly acceptable to use the online version in place of the hard copy logbook.  Furthermore, if you use the online version you are not required to keep or update your existing hard copy logbook.

No.

Whilst not mandatory RACQ strongly recommends the use of the Learn2go Online Learner Logbook. The benefits include:

• It is easy to read and it saves you the trouble of protecting your hard copy version.
• You will always have a backup of the hours completed towards your 100 hours of on-road practical driving experience. Remember if your logbook is lost, damaged or illegible you will not be given any credit for the number of hours you have already obtained and you will be required to start recording your hours from zero

Many reasons.

The Learn2go website provides many great benefits and tips for both learners and supervisors. Some reasons why you should become a registered user of the Learn2go website include:

There are however many advantages to RACQ membership and free2go membership including access to free breakdown assistance as well as travel, insurance and retail discounts. For more information refer to the RACQ website or call us on 13 1905.

Yes.

It is acceptable to enter past drives into the Learn2go online logbook providing that they were completed while you held your current learner licence.

Any drives that were completed using a learner licence that is now expired cannot be counted towards your current 100 hour requirement. When adding valid past entries, please ensure that all details are entered correctly and accurately.

No.

Drives in the Learn2go logbook do not have to be entered in chronological order (oldest to newest). As long as they have been entered with the correct information they will still count towards your total hours of driving experience.

No.

When you have completed your 100 hours of on-road practical driving experience, the Learn2go logbook must be printed out and lodged at an Australia Post outlet. For more information on how to print and submit your online logbook please refer to the Submitting Your Logbook section of this website.

No.

The Learn2go logbook is only for use by learners with a current Queensland Learner Licence.

If you have recently moved to Queensland from another state and intend on applying for your provisional licence in Queensland, please see Interstate and overseas learner drivers from the Department of Transport and Main Roads website to find out more information about your requirements.

Yes.

Providing that your supervisor holds the equivalent to a current Queensland open licence, and has held this for more than one year, they may supervise and approve your drives. Your supervisor cannot instruct you if they are on probation, holding a restricted or suspended licence, or holding a Learner or provisional licence.

Yes. You can have a number of different supervisors approve your drives. In fact, RACQ encourages having a number of different supervisors whilst you are learning to drive. To ensure your supervisor is eligible to approve your drives, make sure that they meet the requirements of a good supervisor. 

If you would like to find out more information about the licensing legislation that exists for Queensland learner and provisional drivers please refer to the Department of Transport and Main Roads website.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads recommend allowing at least 12 business days for the logbook approval process. You can submit your completed logbook via an Australia Post office. To check on the status of your logbook approval, please contact The Department of Transport and Main Roads on 13 23 80.
