I took the HART (Honda Advanced Rider Training) back in Melbourne in about 89 or 90 when I got my Learners Permit. It also gave me a discount on insurance there and here in the States.
In OZ, it cost me about $60 to sit the test with VIC ROADS, another $30 to take the on road test where an instructor gives you some directions, follows you and then makes notes, more directions and more notes and so on until you get back to base. Only then do you find out if you past or not. The HART course was $250. Then to get the license it is another $160 for a 10 year permit.
Grand total, about $500
Expensive but well worth it.
I think it cost me $7 here in the States
. I love the USA
