rules for learner drivers vic Page 8

Ah, the trials and tribulations of being a learner driver in Victoria. First off, you must hold your learner permit for at least 12 months unless you're over 21, then it's a breezier 6 months. You're legally obliged to drive with a fully licensed supervisor, who must have held their license for at least 4 years. Your speed is capped at 80 km/h, and you must display L plates front and back. Alcohol? Forget it—your blood alcohol concentration must be zero. And yes, using your phone, even hands-free, is a big no-no. Remember, these rules are designed to keep you and others alive, so pay attention and maybe check the official VicRoads website for the full gospel.
