Once you have your learner’s permit, you can start learning to drive a moped.
You do not need to record a minimum number of supervised hours to get your moped licence.
However, we recommend you get as supervised experience as you can, in many different road, traffic and weather conditions.
Rules for learning to ride a moped
When learning to ride a moped you must always:
- ride with an approved supervisor – either as a pillion passenger, in a sidecar or on another moped or motorcycle
- display L plates on the front and back of the vehicle when you are driving
- wear an approved helmet
- only ride on a moped that is designed not to be capable of exceeding 50 kilometres per hour and has an engine that not piston powered or does not exceed 50cc
- not have a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.00%
- not ride in areas where learners are not permitted, such as Kings Park.
Demerit points
Demerit points apply to learner drivers. If you accrue 4 demerit points your learner licence will be suspended or disqualified.
