The VORT system

In South Australia, there are two ways to obtain your Driver’s License, the ‘Competency Based Training & Assessment’ (Log Book) System or CBT&A and the ‘Practical Vehicle On Road Test’ or VORT System. At Playford Driving School, we specialise in the VORT System, a practical and efficient way to obtain your driver’s license in South Australia.

The VORT is an on-the-road, practical driving test where the driver must demonstrate 5 slow speed manoeuvres and pass the general drive in order to obtain their driver’s license.

These 5 slow speed manoeuvres are:

1. Moving off on a hill

2. U-Turn

3. Reverse Parallel Park

4. Angle Park

5. 3-Point Turn

To pass the VORT, the driver must demonstrate all 5 slow speed manoeuvres in combination with the general drive, score a pass mark of 90% or more and not breach any road law during the drive. Breaches of road law will result in an immediate fail.

Playford Driving School will teach you the 5 slow speed manoeuvres and all required road law to successfully pass the test.

Lessons will also cover:

• The System of Vehicle Control

• Road law compliance

• Defensive driving

• Safer steering methods

• Safe driving strategies such as rules of observation, rules of braking, vehicle positioning, stopping distance and following distance.
