Log Book Victoria

Supervising Driver
When you are learning to drive a car it is a requirement of your learner permit to a supervising driver seated beside you at all times while driving. The supervising driver must have a:

• current full (non - probationary) Victorian car driver licence, or
• an interstate or overseas driver licence that has been held for at least two or more years for the category of motor vehicle being driven by the learner driver

All supervising drivers must also carry their licence with them and are subject to a 0.05% blood alcohol concentration requirement (BAC) (except Driving Instructors who must have a zero BAC), and complete their details in the 'List for Supervising Drivers' in the Learner Log Book. The supervising driver will also have to complete the 'Declaration of Completion' in the Learner Log Book.

120 Hours of Supervised Driving
All learner drivers under the age of 21 who obtain their learner permit on or after 1 July 2007 must complete a minimum of 120 hours of supervised learner driving experience (including at least 10 hours at night) before they can take their driving licence test.

These hours must be recorded in an official learner log book that is signed by the learner driver and the supervising driver. This log book is issued to the learner driver free of charge when they pass the learner permit test.

Learner drivers who do not accumulate 120 hours (including at least 10 hours at night) and have not been exempted from this requirement, will not be permitted to take the driving licence test and will lose their test and appointment fees. Learner drivers will not be permitted to complete the learner log book in the Customer Service Centre on the day of their appointment.

It is not mandatory for learner drivers 21 years of age or older or learner drivers who obtained their learner permit prior to 1 July 2007 to complete a minimum of 120 hours of supervised driving experience before they can take their driving licence test.
