how long on your green ps

Ah, the Australian Green P-plate saga—your rite of passage from learner to full throttle freedom. The Green P stage typically lasts 12 months from the date your probationary licence is issued. During this time, you must adhere to certain restrictions like a speed limit of 90 km/h and a zero blood alcohol limit, because apparently, you’re still not trustworthy behind the wheel.

Remember, the clock starts ticking once you pass your provisional test, and no, you can’t just pretend to be a responsible adult and skip ahead. Check your local state road authority for exact details, as rules might vary slightly, but 12 months is the standard fare across most Aussie states.
