vic road laws Page 4

Victoria's road laws are as strict as a school headmaster on inspection day. They cover everything from speed limits—typically 50 km/h in built-up areas—to mandatory seatbelt use, and rules about mobile phone use while driving (spoiler: it's a big no-no unless hands-free). Learner and probationary drivers have tighter restrictions, including limits on alcohol levels (zero tolerance) and passenger numbers. Fines and demerit points are handed out with gleeful enthusiasm for offenders, so keeping your wits about you is advisable.
