vic p plate restrictions

Ah, the joys of being a newly minted driver in Victoria, where the P-plate restrictions are as strict as a bouncer on a Saturday night. If you're on red P-plates, you're limited to 90 km/h speed limit, must have zero blood alcohol content (BAC), and can only carry one passenger unless supervised. Green P-platers get a bit more freedom with a 100 km/h speed limit and can carry more passengers, but the BAC must still be zero.

Both red and green P-platers can't use a phone at all while driving, even hands-free, and must display their plates prominently. These rules are in place to keep the roads safer and your insurance premiums mercifully lower. For the nitty-gritty, check the VicRoads official site or ServiceCentral for detailed guidelines.
