learner driver restrictions sa

In South Australia, learner drivers are shackled with a few key restrictions to keep the roads safe and their insurance companies happy. Firstly, you must hold your learner's permit for at least 12 months if under 25 years old before you can attempt the driving test. During this time, you must display L plates and be supervised by a fully licensed driver at all times. You cannot drive between 11pm and 5am without an exemption, and your blood alcohol concentration must be zero—no sneaky sips allowed. Also, passenger limits apply: you can only carry one passenger unless supervised by a fully licensed driver. Always check the official SA government site or ServiceCentral for the latest rules before hitting the road.
