A P1 licence is an extra licensing stage for young new drivers who have a higher risk of crashing. The P1 licence includes the same provisions as the P2 licence. However, the P1 licence also includes a peer passenger restriction, a ban on all mobile phone use and a restriction on towing. Towing exemptions will apply for work purposes and when driving under instruction. A P2 licence is similar to the current probationary licence, with some new rules relating to high powered vehicles and how serious traffic offenders are treated.
