p plate rules victoria

Ah, the elusive P plates of Victoria—a rite of passage and a legal straightjacket for fresh drivers. You're stuck with maximum speeds of 90 km/h, a zero blood alcohol limit, and the charming requirement to display red P plates on your vehicle. Night-time driving restrictions exist only if you're under 18, limiting travel between 11 pm and 5 am.

Passengers? You’re limited to one unless supervised or with family, so no joyrides with a full crew. And don’t even think about using a handheld phone—it's a strict no.

For the full, soul-sapping list, check the VicRoads website or ServiceCentral for official details.
