Drivers who use medicinal cannabis will be taken around driving courses with an instructor at special closed road facilities such as METEC in Bayswater North and AARC in Wensleydale.
Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melissa Horne said the trial, conducted in partnership with Swinburne University, would be a world-first.
