green p plate passenger rules vic Page 11

Ah, the green P plate phase in Victoria—where you're technically a licensed driver but still treated like a fledgling bird in the wild. The rules for green P drivers (Probationary P1) are quite clear: you can only carry one passenger aged between 16 and 22 years old, unless they are immediate family members or you have a qualified supervising driver with you. This restriction is designed to reduce distractions and risk during those nerve-wracking first years behind the wheel.

These rules apply from 11 pm to 5 am, and breaching them could land you a hefty fine and demerit points, not to mention the risk of losing your precious P plates. So, to sum up: one peer passenger aged 16-22 unless family or supervised, and no exceptions during late-night hours.
