Driving from VIC to S.A on Learners?

[skappascrap]

Just a quick question, since my Mum and her partner want me to come on a holiday to Adelaide for New years, her partner isn't the best driver and I've got my learners, so they want me to do the whole trip and back.
I was wondering if I would be able to drive interstate with my L's.
A bit more info, I do a fair amount of my hours on highways since we live out of town as I've stated in my "My Ride" thread if anyone has looked at that.

Personally I would be happy for you to do the whole trip with a licensed driver in the nav seat. There's no reason why you couldn't drive around AUS on L's.. It's all experience in the end I know I drove more than enough country long distance when I was on L's ( mid 80s) Anything longer than a few hours I would recommend a good break as it can take a bit out of a person that's not used to keeping the mind active for that long Happy driving!!

Yeah man do it! Thats how i got at least half of my hours driving from geelong to adelaide and back. Enjoy the trip!

Go for it mate. Sounds like great way to get your hours up.

all good mate, follow victorian road rules.
and leave a 10-15min break in ur log book per 2 hours

Dunno if its still the case but a few years back your learners was only valid in the state it was issued

you can now, i did as did my sister you follow your liscense's road rules.

so nsw ls are restricted to 80, you go 100 cos vic dont have that rule.. (idont think)

Cheers guys, I now will be driving there and back which will probably be a good 15 hours plus, and a break every towns on the way to stretch the legs

go for it mate.

even in interstate you follow your own states laws with regards to L's and P's (so you can do whatever the posted speed is)

even if you drive for more then the 2hrs straight dont worry.
when i handed in the L's book they saw a few 3hr trips, and i was like, yeah we stopped for 5 minutes, halfway through, they said thats fine, no worries.

I got a few blocks of greater than 2 hours crossed off in my log book even though I said there was a break half way, that didn't help and she said "so, how many of these hours have breaks included in the time?" luckily I had more than 200 hours. Play it safe and write down them in less than two hour blocks. But yeah as stated follow the rules that would apply to you in Vic.
