1As a Victorian motorcycle learner permit holder, what blood alcohol concentration (BAC) are you allowed to have when riding?

A.0.05%

B.0.02%

C.Zero — 0.00%

D.0.08%

Explanation: Victorian motorcycle learner permit holders must maintain a zero blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.00% at all times when riding. Even a trace of alcohol is illegal for learners. This zero BAC rule also applies to fully licensed motorcycle riders in Victoria who are on a probationary licence.

2Which type of motorcycle may a Victorian learner permit holder ride?

A.Any motorcycle, provided it does not exceed 1000cc

B.Any motorcycle manufactured before 1990

C.Only a LAMS-approved motorcycle

D.Only motorcycles fitted with automatic transmission

Explanation: Victorian learner permit holders are restricted to riding only LAMS (Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme) approved motorcycles. LAMS bikes must have an engine under 661cc AND a power-to-weight ratio of no more than 150 kW per tonne. Engine capacity alone is not the only test — a powerful 600cc sportsbike that exceeds the power-to-weight ratio would not be LAMS approved.

3What is the maximum power-to-weight ratio for a LAMS-approved motorcycle in Victoria?

A.100 kW per tonne

B.130 kW per tonne

C.200 kW per tonne

D.150 kW per tonne

Explanation: A LAMS motorcycle in Victoria must have a power-to-weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne or less, in addition to having an engine capacity under 661cc. The bike must also be in standard, unmodified form. Motorcycles under 261cc nearly always qualify automatically.

4Can a Victorian motorcycle learner permit holder carry a pillion passenger?

A.Yes, any passenger at any time

B.Yes, but only on sealed roads

C.No, pillion passengers are not permitted on a learner permit

D.Yes, if the passenger holds a full car licence

Explanation: Victorian motorcycle learner permit holders must not carry pillion passengers. The only exception is that a learner may carry a passenger in a sidecar if the motorcycle is fitted with one. Carrying a pillion on a learner permit is a traffic offence and attracts demerit points.

5Where must a Victorian motorcycle learner display their L plate?

A.On the front of the motorcycle only

B.On the front and rear of the motorcycle

C.On the rear of the motorcycle, clearly visible from 20 metres

D.Anywhere on the motorcycle or rider's clothing

Explanation: Victorian motorcycle learners must display an L plate on the rear of the motorcycle that is clearly visible from a distance of 20 metres at all times while riding. The L plate must be displayed whenever you are riding on a learner permit.

6When must a Victorian motorcycle learner permit holder keep their headlight on?

A.Only at night and in tunnels

B.Only in rain or fog

C.At all times while riding

D.Only on rural roads

Explanation: Victorian motorcycle learner permit holders are required to keep their motorcycle headlight on at all times while riding — day and night, in all conditions and on all road types. This is a mandatory learner restriction in Victoria designed to make learner riders more visible to other road users.

7Can a Victorian motorcycle learner permit holder lane filter between slow-moving or stationary vehicles?

A.Yes, at speeds up to 30 km/h

B.Yes, on roads with a speed limit under 60 km/h

C.No, lane filtering is only permitted for fully licensed riders

D.Yes, at any speed if it is safe to do so

Explanation: Lane filtering at speeds up to 30 km/h is legal in Victoria, but only for fully licensed motorcycle riders — not learner permit holders. It is an offence for a learner to lane filter at any time. Lane splitting (between traffic at speeds above 30 km/h) remains illegal for all riders.

8What hi-vis clothing standard is acceptable for a Victorian motorcycle learner?

A.Any fluorescent yellow vest purchased from a hardware store

B.A vest or jacket meeting AS/NZS 4602.1:2011, ISO 20471/EN 20471, or ANSI/ISEA 107-2010

C.Any reflective vest worn over the jacket

D.A dark-coloured leather jacket is sufficient

Explanation: Victorian motorcycle learners must wear an approved high-visibility vest or jacket bearing a label that confirms it meets one of the following standards: AS/NZS 4602.1:2011, ANSI/ISEA 107-2010, ISO 20471/EN 20471, or ANSI/ISEA 207-2011. Simply buying a bright vest is not enough — it must carry the approved standard marking.

9What Australian standard must a motorcycle helmet meet to be legal in Victoria?

A.AS 1698:1988 or AS/NZS 1698:2006

B.Any CE-marked European helmet

C.AS 4602.1:2011

D.ISO 9001 certified helmets only

Explanation: In Victoria, motorcycle helmets must meet AS 1698:1988, AS/NZS 1698:2006 (or a later version), or the international UN ECE 22.05 standard. Wearing an unapproved helmet attracts a fine of $300. The chin strap must be fastened whenever you are riding.

10A Victorian motorcycle learner permit holder wants to tow a small trailer to carry camping gear. Is this allowed?

A.Yes, if the trailer is under 200 kg

B.Yes, provided the learner has had the permit for more than 6 months

C.No, towing any trailer or vehicle is prohibited on a learner permit

D.Yes, on rural roads only

Explanation: Victorian motorcycle learner permit holders are prohibited from riding a motorcycle that is towing a trailer or any other vehicle. This restriction applies regardless of the trailer's size, weight, or the road type. Towing on a learner permit is a traffic offence.

Victorian motorcycle learner permit holders must: ride only LAMS-approved motorcycles (up to 660cc, max 150kW/tonne power-to-weight ratio); maintain zero blood alcohol concentration (BAC); wear an approved hi-vis vest or jacket; display an L plate on the rear visible at 20 metres; keep headlights on at all times; not carry pillion passengers; not lane filter; not tow; and not use a mobile phone while riding.

What is a LAMS motorcycle in Victoria?

LAMS stands for Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme. A LAMS-approved motorcycle must have an engine capacity under 661cc AND a power-to-weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne or less. The motorcycle must also be in standard (unmodified) form. Nearly all motorcycles under 261cc automatically qualify.

Can motorcycle learner permit holders lane filter in Victoria?

No. Lane filtering — moving between lanes of slow-moving or stationary traffic at up to 30km/h — is only permitted for fully licensed motorcycle riders in Victoria, not learner permit holders. It is an offence for a learner permit holder to lane filter at any time. Lane splitting (moving between traffic at speeds over 30km/h) is illegal for all riders.
