red p plate passenger rules

Ah, the thrilling world of red P platers and their passenger privileges. In most Australian states, if you're flashing those red P plates, you're bound by some strict passenger passenger rules to keep the roads safe and your driving privileges intact.

• Victoria: Red Ps can't carry more than one passenger under 21 years old unless they're immediate family.
• New South Wales: No more than one passenger under 21 in the first year.
• Other states have their own quirks, but the gist is to limit young distractions.

Breaking these rules can lead to fines, demerit points, or an extended probation period. Check your state's road authority for precise details and updates.
