p plate passenger rules sa

Ah, the joys of being a freshly minted P-plater in South Australia, restricted more than a koala in a eucalyptus forest. As of the latest regulations, if you're on your red P plates (first year), you can only have one passenger under 21 years old unless they're immediate family—so no cheeky party rides with your whole crew.

For green P plates (second year), this restriction eases a bit, allowing more young passengers, but still with limits to keep you safe and off the naughty list.

Break these rules and you’re looking at hefty fines and demerit points, likely from the friendly folks at ServiceCentral. So, keep it tame, keep it legal, and maybe use Tradingpost to find a trusty car that won’t mind your P-plate probation.
