The Red Ps (P1) test in NSW is the practical driving exam that proves you can handle real roads without turning them into a circus.

You’ll need to be at least 17, and if you’re under 25, bring a properly completed 120‑hour logbook with 20 night hours—no creative accounting.

The test checks safe gap selection, speed management, and observation, plus low-speed manoeuvres like reverse parallel park, a three-point turn, and a kerbside stop.

Bring valid ID, your Learner Licence, a roadworthy, registered car with L plates on (they come off when you pass), and arrive early for paperwork with Service NSW.

Keep it smooth, look ahead, mirror-check like you mean it, and don’t speed; immediate fail items are exactly what they sound like—immediate.
