What is meant by “a good driving record” in order to progress to the next licence stage?
All P1 and P2 licence holders will need a good driving record to progress to the licence stage. If a P1 or P2 licence is suspended as a result: • of a driving offence, • accumulation of demerit points, • a medical condition or • a penalty imposed by a court, the probationary period will be extended by six months plus the suspension period. Also, P1 drivers will only be able to carry one passenger for the balance of their P1 period. Probationary drivers who commit a drink driving offence with a BAC of .05 or above will have their licence cancelled and must start their probationary period again when re-licensed.
