how many passengers can a learner driver have in qld

Short answer: there’s no special cap in Queensland— a learner can carry as many passengers as there are properly fitted seatbelts available.

You must have a supervising driver with an open licence in the front passenger seat, L‑plates displayed, and a zero BAC.

Everyone must wear seatbelts, and the learner can’t use a mobile phone at all (not even hands‑free); passengers can’t use the phone’s speaker to talk to them either.

Unlike some P‑plate curfews in other states, QLD L‑platers don’t get a time‑of‑night passenger limit—common sense and seat count still apply.

So bring the cheer squad if you must, but if there aren’t enough belts, they’re not coming.

For the latest fine print, check the Queensland Government’s official guidance.
