p licence victoria

A P licence in Victoria is the probationary stage where you’re licensed to drive, but without the superhero cape.

You must display P plates, keep your BAC at 0.00, avoid mobile phone use, and stick to any passenger and night-driving restrictions that apply to your age and licence stage.

Drive sensibly, don’t hoard demerit points, and you progress to full licence status after the required period.

VicRoads sets the exact rules and durations, which can vary by age and history—so read the fine print before celebrating with a sausage roll.
