Motorcycling in Victoria: Navigating Restrictions as a Learner and License Holder

Learner Restrictions

As a learner motorcyclist in Victoria, you must adhere to specific restrictions outlined by the Victorian Driver Licensing Authority (VicRoads).

These restrictions include:

• Riding only motorbikes that meet the “Learner Approved Motorcycle” (LAM) criteria
• Limiting passenger capacity to one pillion passenger over the age of 18
• Being accompanied by a licensed supervisor when riding outside a 25km radius of your home address

License Holder Restrictions

Upon obtaining a Victorian motorcycle license, certain restrictions still apply:

• Riders with an interstate or overseas license for less than 12 months must complete a VicRoads conversion test
• Riders who have been licensed for less than three years are subject to a Provisional Rider License (PRL), which imposes additional restrictions
• Riders may face additional restrictions based on the type of motorcycle they possess
