red p plate rules qld

Ah, Queensland's red P plates – the badge of youthful vehicular enthusiasm and, let's be honest, occasional terror on the roads. These plates are for provisional drivers who have just passed their learner's permit phase. Key rules include a maximum speed limit of 90 km/h, zero blood alcohol content (BAC), and restrictions on towing.

You're also not allowed to drive between 11 pm and 5 am unless for work, study, or emergencies. Plus, you must display the red P plates clearly front and back, or risk a fine that will make you wish you had just stuck to the bus. Consult Queensland’s Department of Transport for the full legal spiel.
