p plate passenger rules vic Page 8

Ah, the beloved P-plate passenger rules in Victoria—because freedom comes with conditions. For P1 drivers (red P plates), you're limited to carrying only one passenger aged between 16 and 22 years old unless they're immediate family. P2 drivers (green P plates) can carry more, but with some caveats during nighttime driving. These rules aim to curb risky behaviour, as statistics show passengers can be a distraction for novice drivers.

Key points:

• P1 drivers: Only one passenger aged 16-22 unless family.
• P2 drivers: Can carry more but restrictions apply from 11pm to 5am.
• Family members: Exempt from passenger limits.
