can a fully licensed driver drive with p plates on
If either method is used, and the driver has obtained their licence in an Automatic transmission vehicle, an ``A'' condition is placed on the licence, for a period of 12 months. This condition restricts the license holder, for the duration of this period, to driving vehicles with automatic transmission only. To remove the condition prior to 12 months, the provisional driver must re-attempt the practical driving exam in a manual transmission vehicle. The Provisional Licence is valid for three years. Provisional drivers must display red on white ``P Plates'' for three years unless: (a) they take an additional road safety program Road Ready Plus after six months of obtaining their Provisional Licence; or (b) they are over 26 years of age and held their licence for six months. Provisional holders who have taken the Road Ready Plus (RRP) course, (commonly called a ``P-off'' course), or are over 26 years of age also get an additional four demerit point allowance. A ``PC'' condition is displayed on the licence, which indicates that the provisional driver can drive with ``P plates not displayed''. Provisional drivers must have a zero blood-alcohol limit. No speed restrictions are imposed on ACT learner or Provisional drivers, and they are permitted to drive the posted speed limit.
