Ah, the elusive P2 licence in Victoria—a rite of passage for those who've survived the dreaded P1 probation. The P2 licence lets you drive unsupervised but with some restrictions: speed limits capped at 100 km/h, mandatory zero blood alcohol, and a few pesky rules like no mobile phone use (even hands-free). The P2 stage lasts for a minimum of 3 years before you can graduate to a full licence.

New P2 licences cost around $100 to $150 AUD, depending on renewal periods, while used car listings on Tradingpost or CarShowroom often specify if the seller holds a P2 licence (which might affect insurance premiums). For the exact, nitty-gritty details, consulting VicRoads is your best bet—because they wrote the rulebook and they’re not joking.
