nsw p1 passenger restrictions

Ah, the classic P1 passenger restriction in NSW—because teenagers apparently need a chaperone to prevent chaos. In New South Wales, P1 provisional drivers (red P plates) are allowed to carry only one passenger under 21 years old, unless a qualified supervising driver is present. The aim? To reduce distractions and accidents among newbie drivers.

Key points:

• Only one passenger under 21 allowed (unless family or supervisor present)
• Restrictions apply from 11pm to 5am on weekends and school holidays
• Zero tolerance for alcohol and mobile phone use

These rules might seem draconian, but they're designed to keep everyone safe. For the official and up-to-date details, check the NSW Roads and Maritime Services or ServiceCentral.
