Driving a boat is a practical skill.
There are SAFE WAYS and MANY UNSAFE, DANGEROUS, WAYS.
Passing a multiple choice test, tick and flick, only predicts practical disaster. No Skills training there.
The unsafe SA Gov Boat Licence multiple choice test system has lasted too long.
Thank goodness Boating SA is now in the process of changing it.
