5 Basic kinds of driver licence (1) The road transport authority may issue driver licences of the following kinds under this regulation: (a) learner licences; (b) provisional licences; (c) full licences; (d) restricted licences; (e) probationary licences. Note Section 6 deals with the other kinds of driver licences, namely, conditional and public vehicle licences. (2) For this regulation, a full licence is an Australian driver licence that is not a learner, provisional, restricted or probationary licence. Note Learner licence, provisional licence, restricted licence, and probationary licence are defined in the dictionary to the Act as follows: learner licence means an Australian driver licence issued to a person under the law of any jurisdiction that authorises the person to drive a motor vehicle on a road or road related area for the purpose of learning to drive. provisional licence means an Australian driver licence issued as a provisional licence, but does not include an Australian driver licence that includes an additional provisional class merely because it includes the additional provisional class. restricted licence means an Australian driver licence, issued under the authority of a court in Australia, that authorises the holder to drive only in the course of his or her employment or in other restricted circumstances. probationary licence means— (a) a driver licence, other than a learner licence, issued under this Act to a person who applies for a driver licence after a period of disqualification (whether or not by court order) from holding or obtaining an Australian driver licence; or

(b) a driver licence issued with an interlock condition under the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2000, s 73W; or (c) an equivalent Australian driver licence issued under a corresponding law.
