p plate curfew exemption sa Page 8

In South Australia, P1 drivers under 25 have a curfew from midnight to 5am; exemptions exist for work, education or training, medical appointments, and genuine family hardship.

Apply through the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (via Service SA), and include evidence such as an employer letter/roster, enrolment or appointment proof, and your licence details. If approved, you’ll get conditions that spell out when and where you can drive; carry the exemption notice whenever you’re on the road during those hours. It’s not a free pass—breaches can mean fines and demerit points, and you can kiss your P‑plate progress goodbye for a while. When in doubt, check the official SA guidance before planning any midnight missions.
