If you’re on your P’s, the thrill of newfound freedom on the open road can be intoxicating. But so can alcohol. The combination of the two is a recipe for disaster.
The Dangers of Drink Driving
Even a small amount of alcohol can significantly impair your judgment, reaction time, and coordination – essential skills for safe driving. The risks of drink driving are amplified for young drivers, who are already more likely to be involved in accidents.
The Law and Its Consequences
In Queensland, the laws surrounding drink driving are strict, and the penalties for P-plate drivers are particularly severe. Driving on the Sunshine Coast with any amount of alcohol in your system while on your P’s is illegal. If caught, you face hefty fines, loss of licence, and even potential imprisonment. The consequences extend beyond legal penalties, impacting your job prospects, insurance premiums, and reputation.
