Questions Learners Have About Probationary Licences

How long does the probationary driving period last in Austria?

The standard probationary period in Austria lasts for three years from the date your driving licence is issued. For those who obtain their licence before their 18th birthday, such as L17 or A1 drivers, the probationary period generally extends until they reach their 21st birthday.

What is the alcohol limit for drivers during their probationary period in Austria?

During the entire probationary period, a strict alcohol limit of 0.1 promille blood alcohol content applies to drivers in Austria. This is significantly lower than the general limit and aims to reduce risks for new drivers.

What happens if I commit a serious traffic offense during my probationary period?

Committing a serious traffic offense, such as significant speeding or a right-of-way violation, will result in a mandatory retraining course (Nachschulung) ordered by the authorities. This course is compulsory and costly.

Can my probationary period be extended in Austria?

Yes, your probationary period can be extended by an additional year if you are ordered to attend a mandatory retraining course due to a serious traffic offense. It can also be extended if you fail to complete the mandatory multi-phase training within the prescribed timeframe.

Does the probationary period apply to all driving licence categories?

The probationary period primarily applies to initial driving licence categories like B (cars), A1 (light motorcycles), and AM (mopeds), especially for younger drivers. Categories obtained at a later age or certain professional licences might have different rules.
