red p rules nsw

Ah, the elusive Red P plates in NSW—proof you’ve finally graduated from the green P stage but still not quite ready for the open road buffet. In New South Wales, Red Ps are issued to provisional drivers aged 25 or older who have passed their driving test but still must display the plates for at least 12 months. During this period, you're allowed to drive unsupervised but must adhere to some restrictions, such as a lower speed limit of 90 km/h and a zero blood alcohol concentration. The plates themselves must be clearly displayed on both the front and rear of the vehicle.

For the full list of rules and to ensure you’re not accidentally committing a traffic sin, check the official NSW Roads and Maritime Services documentation or visit ServiceCentral.
