Hi all, I'm an apprentice chef and work into late hours of the night when public transport, is not operating, i turn 18 next February and was wondering is there a chance i would be able to seek permission from VIC ROADS to obtain work lisence where i am able to obtain my P's before my 18th considering i will have restrictions to my license, i have already complete my 120 hours a long time ago and believe i am a quite competent driver, is there a possibility i can do this ????? cheers folks.

will be a clear no man , one of my mates worked from 6pm till 2am every night and they still said no and he was only a month off turning 18 they told him to wait or find work closer to where he lives lol best to just wait it out

even if i had a letter from my boss ?, but still iv'e heard of some people doing this, but that was more like tradies and stuff

I got mine when I was 16 but lived I'n sa. Mayb go up there n get ur p's?

i don't know i have family in other states and try and pull a shifty, but i thought there is a way here under dire circumstances that you'd be able to get your P's. might book a ticket to Adelaide tomorrow haha .

Quick... Flight DJ 219 departs MEL at about 1000hrs tomorrow. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ill be cheap and wait aside for spare seats.

South aus p plates have no restrictions as well.lol

I'm an apprentice chef too mate and it can't be done. I got an exemption from the 120 hours but couldn't get my p's till I was 18.

ah fair enough , going to have to stick to the pushie for a bit longer Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If you "live" in another state like sa, you can get your p's.. Then if you came back to melb, you have your lisence.

so all i have to do is prove residency in another state, i have family in wa and nsw so that may be an option, but i was sure you where able to by pass the age limit if you have substantial reasoning for obtaining your license early ?

You can only use a licence from another state interstate for 3 months before having to change it. Ive heard of police going to a lot of effort to prove the point if you get caught.. even checking with the ATO to see where your income comes from etc etc

anyone heard about these new blue P's some prevision that you can only carry one passenger and that passenger must be family ... getting abit out of control i say
