tasmania p plate rules

Ah, Tasmania and its P plate rules—a rite of passage for Aussie novices. To keep the roads somewhat sane, P platers must adhere to a maximum speed limit of 90 km/h and are banned from driving high-powered vehicles exceeding 150 kW. You'll also find restrictions like carrying only one passenger under 21 years unless they're family, and a strict zero blood alcohol limit. These rules last for at least 12 months, and failing to comply can lead to fines and points on your licence.

For the freshest, most official details, check out the Tasmania Department of State Growth or servicecentral. And if you’re hunting for a suitable P plate ride, CarShowroom and Tradingpost are your mates.
