how long are you on your red ps for qld

Ah, the infamous Red P plates in Queensland—your rite of passage into the big, bad world of driving. You’re stuck with those bright red squares for a solid 12 months after passing your probationary licence test. During this time, you have to keep the red Ps plastered on your car front and back like a badge of honour (or shame, depending on the day).

After surviving this year-long probation, you ascend to the Green P plates, which come with their own set of restrictions and last for another 2 years. So, buckle up and cherish that red P glow while it lasts, and maybe brush up on the official Queensland Transport site or ServiceCentral for the nitty-gritty.
