learner driver restrictions victoria

Ah, the joys of being a learner driver in Victoria—where freedom is restricted yet hope remains. Learners must hold their permit for at least 12 months before upgrading, unless they're 21 or over, then it's just 6 months. You must be supervised by a fully licensed driver at all times, and guess what? That supervisor has to have held their full licence for at least 4 years. Speed limits? Learners are capped at 90 km/h, because apparently, speed kills dreams too. And no mobile phone use, not even hands-free, because distractions are the enemy of progress. If you’re over 21 and want to bypass the 120 hours of supervised driving, good luck—there are no shortcuts here.
