how to get your p plates

In Australia, getting your P plates is a rite of passage slightly less stressful than stalling at a green light. First, grab your learner permit and clock the required supervised hours (varies by state and age). When eligible, pass the Hazard Perception Test (where required) and then book the practical driving test. Nail the test, pay the fee, and you’ll be issued P plates—stick them front and rear and enjoy the newfound glory of uphill take-offs. Remember the rules: zero BAC, licence on you, and any speed, phone, night-driving or passenger restrictions your state sets. Check your state or territory road authority for exact steps and hour counts, then get practising until your parallel parks are boringly perfect.
