Answer 1

If Vic is anything like QLD and WA They should be able to now. Ive never heard of not being able to drive with a passenger except on a motor bike.

The rules for P1 drivers in Victoria are:

You must display red P plates at all times (plates measuring approximately 150mm square with a white letter P on a red background)

You must not have any alcohol in your blood when driving  

You must not use a mobile phone, hand held, hands free or messaging of any kind

You are not permitted to drive a high powered vehicle

You cannot tow a caravan or trailer (unless for work or if under instruction)

****You are not allowed to carry more than one passenger aged between 16 and 21 years of age ****

If you pass your drive test in an automatic vehicle, you will be restricted to driving automatic vehicles while you hold a probationary licence

You must carry your licence at all times while driving
