Before you act: checklist

  • At age 19 or younger, check the midnight-to-5 a.m.
  • rule: normally one passenger aged 19 or younger for the first six months, then up to three.
  • Review family and qualified-accompanying-driver exceptions.

Limits and local checks

Age, licence stage and time held matter, not just available seats. Check drug restrictions and conditions on your licence. Turning 20 or gaining full G changes the youth-passenger rule, not the duty to drive safely.
