can l plate drive at night

Ah, the eternal question for every fresh Aussie driver: can you roam the night with your L plates proudly on display? The short answer is a resounding no in most states. Learner drivers are generally prohibited from driving between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am to keep them away from potential late-night lunacy. Exceptions might exist depending on your state, but don't count on your L plates getting you a midnight joyride.

So if you're itching to test your skills under the stars, better wait until you upgrade to a P plate or risk a ticket that'll sting more than a mozzie bite. For the nitty-gritty, check your local road authority or ServiceCentral.
