Vehicle and passenger conditions for P1 and P2 licence holders
On 11 July 2005 the NSW Government introduced two changes to the provisional licence scheme for licences issued after that date. Both changes are new initiatives to help reduce the young driver road toll. The prohibited vehicle and passenger conditions are described below.
Prohibited vehicles
The prohibited vehicle condition restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles. The scheme aims to prohibit young driver access to vehicles that are overrepresented in young driver crashes.
Prohibited vehicles are those with:
Eight or more cylinders.
A turbocharged engine (except diesel).
A supercharged engine (except diesel).
Engine performance modifications.
Certain high performance six cylinder engine vehicles or other vehicles as described in the publication Novice Drivers - High Performance Vehicle Restrictions.
The following vehicles are not prohibited vehicles and may be driven by provisional licence holders:
Suzuki Cappuccino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 698cc (released between 1/01/1992 - 1/12/1997).
Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Convertible Turbo 4 659cc (released from 1/10/2003).
Smart vehicles (all models).
If you are unsure whether your vehicle is prohibited or you would like more information about P1 and P2 licence conditions phone 13 22 13.
The publication Novice Drivers - High Performance Vehicle Restrictions is available to view and download from the box at the bottom of this page. This list will be updated as required.
An additional list, Guide of prohibited eight cylinder, turbo and supercharged high performance vehicles, may also be viewed and downloaded. This additional list is a guide only and subject to change at any time without notice. If your vehicle is not on the list but would otherwise be considered to be a 'prohibited vehicle', you must not drive it, unless exempt.
Guidelines for light vehicle modifications, including engine modifications, are also available to view and download at the bottom of this page (refer to Vehicle Standards Information sheet VSI 06).
Passenger condition
The passenger condition applies to provisional (P1 and P2) drivers disqualified for a driving offence that is committed on or after 11 July 2005. After the disqualification period the provisional licence holder will be restricted from carrying more than one passenger when driving. This condition will apply for 12 months.
For more information on vehicle and passenger conditions use the related link (above right) to Frequently Asked Questions.
Exemptions from the conditions
You cannot drive a prohibited vehicle unless you have an exemption in writing issued by the RTA. Application for an exemption can be made at any motor registry upon payment of a fee. See related link to Licensing fees (above right).
A limited exemption from the prohibited vehicle condition may be granted if:
More powerful vehicles are required for genuine employment purposes (the RTA application requires a statutory declaration to be provided by an employer/registered operator).
Eight or more cylinder 4WD vehicles are required by country drivers who have no practical alternative.
The provisional driver can prove direct ownership of a prohibited vehicle prior to the start of the scheme or before an overseas/interstate licence transfer.
The provisional holder is disqualified and can prove direct ownership of their current vehicle at the time of the offence that led to the disqualification.
The principal family vehicle is a moderate performance turbo/supercharged engine vehicle.
Examples of moderate performance turbo/supercharged vehicles that may be eligible for exemption include (but not limited to):
Audi, A4 1.8T Quattro B7 4D Sedan Turbo 4 1781 cc
Mercedes-Benz, C180 Kompressor Avantgarde W203 Upgrade 4D Sedan Supercharged 4 1796 cc
Saab, 9-3 Linear 1.8T MY05 4D Sedan Turbo 4 1988 cc
Volvo, XC90 2.5T Lifestyle Edition 05 Upgrade 4D Wagon Turbo 5 2521 cc
Volkswagon, Passat 1.8T 3B 4D Sedan Turbo 4 1781 cc
An exemption from the passenger restriction will be only granted in exceptional circumstances. You must provide reasons why you have an exceptional circumstance to have your exemption request considered.
Further information on how to apply for a prohibited vehicle or passenger restriction exemption is available on the Application for Exemption Passenger or Prohibited Vehicle Condition (available to download from the box at the bottom of this page).
The driver must notify the RTA within 14 days if their changed circumstances affect their exemption, including if the driver no longer requires being exempted or if the exemption letter needs replacing. A further fee may apply. |
