Apparently not.
Deputy Police Commissioner Shane Patton said he had spoken to the local Assistant Commissioner Bob Hill and they would review the fine.
"Although we are satisfied that was a lawfully issued infringement, I've spoken with the assistant commissioner for the region and in conjunction with the member we will be looking at whether discretion should or could be applied in this circumstance," he said.
Mr Patton said they would decide whether to withdraw the fine "in due course".
"Are we able to send a message to the public without having to fine in this circumstance?" he said.
"I think the fact it's being raised has given actual clarity to the circumstance, so, it's quite possible it will be withdrawn because the public are now aware they can't do that activity unless, of course, it's mixed in with driving to the shops, you are exempt to go and buy food, those sorts of things."
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton on Monday afternoon supported the decision to issue the fine, saying driving lessons were considered "non-essential travel".
"There’s lots of things we’d all like to do right now, but this is not the world we live in at the moment," he said.
Police Minister Lisa Neville agreed with Dr Sutton.
