P1 restrictions


You have to obey the following conditions on your P1 licence:

  • always carry your licence on you
  • display red on white P plates and ensure your P plates can be seen from the front and back of your car
  • drive no faster than 100km/h even when a higher speed limit applies
  • have a blood alcohol content of 0.00
  • not use a mobile phone
  • obey all Tasmanian Road Rules
  • obey peer passenger restrictions.

You can tow a trailer on your P1 licence. You must ensure your P plates are still visible, attaching one to the rear of the trailer if the trailer would block the rear plate from view.
