In New South Wales, the P1 provisional licence holders—often the bane of every experienced driver’s existence—are subject to strict passenger restrictions. Specifically, if you hold a P1 licence, you can carry only one passenger under the age of 21 between 11 pm and 5 am unless a supervising driver is present. This rule aims to reduce distractions and the risk of accidents during those ungodly hours when everyone else is asleep.
Failing to obey these rules can lead to fines, demerit points, and even licence suspensions—hardly the best way to enjoy your newfound freedom. Remember, these rules are in place because statistically, P1 drivers are more accident-prone, so try not to be that statistic.
