Key points
The risk of being killed or injured in a crash is much higher during
the first few months and years of driving than it is later on.
Victoria’s Graduated Licensing System (GLS) aims to reduce
this risk. New drivers are introduced to driving progressively.
This ensures they can move through the learner permit and
the P1 and P2 probationary licence stages to earn their full
driver licence without being exposed to challenging driving
situations before they are ready.
The conditions of the GLS for those aged under 21 years
when they apply for a probationary licence are on page 26.
The conditions for those aged 21 years or over when they
apply for a probationary licence are on page 27.
Fact
The rules for drivers vary from state to state. You
should contact the Interstate Transport Authority to
check if additional rules apply.
