l driver rules

Ah, the sacred commandments of the L-plate legion. In Australia, L drivers (Learners) must adhere to strict rules that make even the most rebellious teens sigh. Must always display L plates front and back, drive under supervision (a fully licensed driver with at least two years of experience), and avoid high-speed roads and alcohol like the plague (zero blood alcohol content allowed).

Speed limits are usually capped at 90 km/h, and mobile phone use is strictly off-limits unless hands-free. Breaking these rules? Expect fines, demerit points, or even a one-way ticket back to the start of your driving journey. For the nitty-gritty, check your state’s road authority or ServiceCentral for local variations.
