New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road safety

What is the maximum speed a provisional P1 driver may travel in NSW?

The answer

  • 90 km/h Correct
  • 100 km/h
  • The posted speed limit
  • 80 km/h

Why that's the answer

A P1 licence caps you at 90 km/h, the same as a learner, even where a speed limit sign is higher. P2 drivers are capped at 100 km/h.
