The 120-Hour Rule: If you are under 21 years of age, there should be a clear record of at least 120 hours of supervised driving (including 20 hours at night) in your myLearners app or logbook.
You get a probationary licence once you pass your practical driving test.
Key Restrictions: Zero blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and strict mobile phone bans apply to all probationary drivers.
