how long am i on my green ps for

Ah, the green P-plates, the badge of honour for rookie Aussie drivers. Typically, you get to flaunt those green Ps for 12 months from the date you pass your provisional licence test. During this time, you need to keep your wits about you, stick to speed limits, and avoid accumulating more than a couple of demerit points, or the green Ps might come off sooner than you'd like.

Do check your specific state regulations on ServiceCentral or your local transport authority's website for any quirky local variations. Remember, surviving the green Ps period without drama is your ticket to the next stage — the red Ps.
