LEARNER drivers from all over the state are now able to sit their learner permit test in the comfort of their own home through a new Learner Permit Test Online (LPTO) program which was launched by the Victorian Government yesterday.

The Victorian Government prioritised the 10,000 learner drivers in the state who had their tests cancelled due to the circuit breaker lockdowns, giving them first access to the online test.
