Ah, Tasmania—the apple isle with a strict red P plate regime. If you’re a freshly minted driver, you’ll be sporting those red P plates for a minimum of 6 months before you’re allowed to switch to green Ps. During this probationary period, your maximum speed limit is capped at 90 km/h, and you must not exceed a blood alcohol content of 0.00%. Also, no tooting your horn or flashing your lights to warn of speed traps—that’s just asking for trouble. These rules aim to keep the roads safer by ensuring new drivers take it easy and learn the ropes without being tempted into reckless antics.
