Are there any restrictions for new drivers after passing the TPST?

New drivers often face specific restrictions after passing the Third Party Skills Test (TPST) to ensure safety as they gain experience on the road. These restrictions are typically designed to limit high-risk situations that may arise as they are still developing their driving skills. For instance, limitations such as no nighttime driving or passenger restrictions are common practices that allow new drivers to build their confidence and competence during less risky driving conditions.

Many jurisdictions implement graduated licensing systems, where restrictions can include the number of passengers allowed in the vehicle, prohibiting driving during certain hours, or even requiring that a more experienced driver accompanies them. These measures are put in place as a precautionary step to reduce the likelihood of accidents among new drivers who may not yet have fully honed their decision-making and reflex skills in challenging driving scenarios.
