[Shounak]

But no.. Probably the only exception is if you're a full licensed driver supervising a learner..

Otherwise nahh..

BTW: that's a guess applying common sense.. I could be wrong..

Thats right, learners and their instructors can be both tested in vic... this only changed 3 years ago...as the old laws simply stated that the driver must be awake...

You could be paraletic and let a learner drive and was fine lol

As for drug tests, they are a pain in the ass, and take far too long. Yes we have them here across vic.

[Shounak]

Not only Vic.. When I was on my L's about 3 years ago I did a fair bit of NSW driving.. All the breatho's in NSW breath tested my mum..

They've been doing a roaring trade around the industrial area's near where I live. Especially the factories that have 24/7 shiftwork. Have heard the Toyota plant in Altona gets alot of attention. I mean, you'd have to be on drugs to want to drive one so why not to work there (joke)
