p1 demerit points sa

In South Australia, P1 (Provisional 1) drivers are on the slippery slope of demerit points with a maximum allowance of 3 points before the authorities start waving the big stick. Hit 4 points and it’s off the road for at least 3 months. This stringent limit is designed to keep the greenhorns on their toes. For comparison, full licence holders get 12 points. Common pitfalls include speeding, running red lights, and using your phone—classic rookie mistakes.

• Speeding
• Distracted driving (phone use)
• Running red lights or stop signs
