act red p plate rules

Ah, the ACT's infamous red P plate rules—because nothing says 'I'm new and possibly hazardous' quite like a bright red badge of shame. In the Australian Capital Territory, red P platers must adhere to a speed limit of 90 km/h (yes, slower than the average snail on a hot day). They're also restricted from driving between 11 pm and 5 am unless supervised, and must avoid carrying more than one passenger under 21 years old unless they're family. Expect heavy fines if you dare flout these rules, because the ACT government loves its novice drivers well-regulated and well-penalised. For all the gritty details, the official government transport site is your best mate.
