In NSW, P platers (Provisional license holders) are treated like the eternally cautious teens of the road. If you hold a Provisional P1 license, you are generally restricted to carrying only one passenger aged between 16 and 22 years old unless a qualified supervisor is present. This restriction lasts for the first 12 months of your P1 license. After upgrading to a P2 license, these passenger restrictions ease off.
These rules are designed to reduce distractions and the tempting chaos that a carload of mates can unleash. Breaching these rules can result in hefty fines and demerit points, so it’s best to obey unless you fancy a visit from the local police and some serious wallet damage.
