Any unlicensed driver involved in a crash where someone is killed or injured will be presumed to have been driving dangerously, under a law change set to pass through the Victorian parliament this week.

The change follows community lobbying over the death of 13-year-old boy Jalal Yassine-Naja, who was killed after being struck by a four-wheel-drive with an unlicensed driver behind the wheel in March last year.

Jalal Yassine-Naja, 13, was struck and killed by an unlicensed motorist while skateboarding.

Dubbed Jalal's law, the amendment has won the Andrews government's backing even though a cross-party committee of MPs found it clashes with the legal presumption of innocence.

Independent MP Rachel Carling-Jenkins won Labor's support for the amendment to legislation in the upper house on Tuesday, paving the way for its passage into law through the lower house, potentially as soon as Wednesday.
