• Unlicensed drivers include people who have never had a licence or whose licence has expired.
• In Victoria, unlicensed drivers make up 8% of drivers and riders in all fatal road crashes.
• People driving unlicensed are a safety risk to other road users and while there aren't a huge number, they are over-represented in road trauma.
• People that are unlicensed are more likely to take additional risks on the road such as drink driving or speeding.
• People that drive while their licence is cancelled or suspended are a risk to themselves and others on the road.

You should not drive if you:

• have never held a valid driver’s licence, or if you’re a learner driver without a supervising driver
• if your licence has expired
• if your licence has been cancelled or suspended as a result of an offence
• if you are not complying with conditions on your licence, such as having an alcohol interlock fitted.

• Victoria Police have implemented highly effective systems such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to deter those contemplating driving whilst unlicensed.
