Your driver abstract must be for a 3 or more year period and have been obtained within the last 30 days.
You cannot have a single major conviction on your abstract (4 demerit points or more), no more than 2 minor convictions (3 demerit points or less)
You cannot have licence suspensions or any failure to produce insurance convictions
Merit courses have no impact on abstract eligibiity
