Australia's graduated licensing system

Australia’s graduated licensing system is designed to gradually introduce new drivers to full driving rights, enhancing safety. Typically, it involves three stages: a learner license requiring supervised driving, a provisional (probationary) license with restrictions to gain experience, and finally, a full license without restrictions. Each stage has specific conditions, such as minimum durations and driving limits, and often includes restrictions on high-risk activities like driving at night or carrying passengers. This structured progression aims to reduce accidents by ensuring learners build skills and experience safely before full independence.
