Learner drivers strict passenger rules in Australia. In Queensland, learners can carry passengers but must always have a fully licensed supervisor in the front seat. In New South Wales, the same rule applies, but P1 drivers under 25 can carry only one passenger under 21 between 11 PM and 5 AM. Victoria enforces similar restrictions for first-year P1 drivers, limiting them to one passenger aged 16 to 22. South Australia and Western Australia have comparable laws, while Tasmania and the Northern Territory allow learners to carry passengers but mandate supervision.
It’s crucial for learner drivers and their supervisors to understand these rules to avoid penalties and ensure safe driving habits. Each state’s regulations are designed to minimize distractions and accidents, particularly for inexperienced drivers. Before hitting the road, always check the latest requirements in your state.
