p plate car restrictions vic

Ah, the Victorian P-plate saga—a rite of passage for young Aussie drivers. If you’re sporting green P-plates in Victoria, you’re subject to speed limits of 90 km/h (not the autobahn), a zero blood alcohol limit (because, naturally), and restrictions on carrying passengers if you’re under 21 during certain hours. You also can’t drive high-powered or high-performance vehicles, which means your dream of burning rubber in a muscle car is sadly postponed.

These rules are designed to keep the roads safer, though they can feel like a straitjacket for the newly minted driver. For the full, unvarnished details and any recent tweaks, check out VicRoads or ServiceCentral.
