p plate restrictions vic

Ah, the infamous P-plate restrictions in Victoria, where the government loves to keep new drivers on a tight leash. If you’re rocking your probationary plates, brace yourself for speed limits capped at 90 km/h, a ban on using mobile phones (yes, even hands-free), and a zero blood alcohol content requirement—because apparently, your nerves aren't enough to handle a drop of booze. You’re also limited by a lower demerit point threshold of 4 points before penalties kick in. Oh, and forget about towing a trailer or driving high-powered cars; the restrictions are as relentless as a traffic warden on a power trip. For the full grind, check out VicRoads or browse listings on CarShowroom and Tradingpost to see which cars are P-plate friendly.
