So, what is a ‘’U- Class Licence’’?
In South Australia, if a person
drives an ultra-high-powered vehicle (UHPV) then he or she must hold a U Class
Licence.
Can you give me some examples of
Cars which are Classified as a ultra-high-powered
vehicle (UHPV)?
There are many cars which fall
under this Category but to name a few which many people would be familiar with,
this includes cars like Lamborghini Hurracans,
Lamborghini Aventador, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Ferrari, McLarens, and many, many
more! For more information on which cars fall under this category please be

How to become Eligible?
In South Australia, to be eligible
for the U- Class Licence, you must first hold an unrestricted/unconditional
licence or probationary Car (c) class licence or higher. If a person only holds
a motorbike licence, then they cannot apply for the U Class Licence.
UHPV drivers who are visiting the state of
South Australia can travel on their interstate C (Car) Class licence.
To successfully apply for a U-
Class Licence, the eligible person must firstly pass an online U Class Licence
Course. See more: https://mylicence.sa.gov.au/my-ultra-high-powered-vehicle-licence/applying-for-a-u-class-licence#:~:text=Class%20Licence%20Course.-,U%20Class%20Licence%20Course,to%20safely%20operate%20an%20UHPV
Online Course: U Class Licence
Course.
Course takes approx. 30-45 minutes
to complete. Once the course is completed, the applicant will then be able to
unlock the knowledge test which is an assessment component forming part of the
course. Once the applicant successfully completes the Course, the applicant
will have to apply for a replacement licence which will add a ‘’U Class’’ to
the person’s driver licence.
