Is it legal in New South Wales to pay someone who isn&#39;t a driving instructor for supervision?
<p>In Australia, to progress from a Learner's license to a provisional driving license, you need to drive for 120 hours supervised by a person who has a full license. However, I know that it is illegal in Queensland to pay someone who isn't an instructor for those hours. Is this the same in New South Wales?</p>

<h2>Yes, it’s illegal</h2>
<p>The relevant law is the <a href="https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1992-003" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Driving Instructors Act 1992</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>6   Unlicensed driving instruction</strong></p>
<p>A person must not act as a driving instructor unless the person is the holder of a licence.</p>
<p>Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>s7 makes it illegal for the person engaging the unlicensed instructor - with the same fine.</p>
<p>A person who is not paid or otherwise rewarded for the instruction is, by definition, <em>not</em> a driving instructor.</p>
