when can you get your learners in victoria

In Victoria, you can get your car learner permit at 16—no need to wait for a mid-life crisis first.

Book the learner permit test, bring ID, pass the eyesight check, and you’re off to a glamorous life of L plates and back-seat commentary from Mum or a supervising full licence holder.

While you’re on Ls you must display L plates, keep your BAC at 0.00, and follow the usual restrictions like staying under posted speed limits.

Motorcycle learners are a different kettle of two-stroke: the minimum age is 18.

Hit 18 and, with enough logged hours and tests ticked, you can go for your Ps—until then, enjoy mastering the art of smooth clutch control.
