Make your Schoolies Festival™ road trip Safe
Heading to Schoolies Festival™? The Government of South Australia has your back with a FREE Schoolies Festival™ Bus Service to get you to and from the event hassle-free. Don’t miss out – book your spot now!
But if you’re planning to drive, remember: THINK! Road Safety. There’ll be plenty of other young people on the roads, so be patient, stay alert especially on busy streets.
Schoolies is all about having a good time, but it’s also a good time to keep these important road rules in mind, especially for P1 and P2 drivers:
P1 Licence Holders
- No mobile use while driving, not even hands-free, maps or Bluetooth. Just keep it off and out of reach.
- You can only have one mate aged 16-20 in the car (unless it’s immediate family). Need someone else? A qualified supervising driver must be in the passenger seat, or you meet the exemption criteria. [Read More]
- No driving between midnight and 5:00 AM unless you have a supervising driver with you, or you meet the exemption criteria. [Read More]
P1 & P2 Licence Holders
- Zero alcohol or drugs in your system.
- No high-powered vehicles (keep it safe).
- Remember not to exceed to 100 km/h, even if the road limit is higher.
For all the fine print on exemptions and more, head to the My Licence website.
Get the Safest Ride Possible
If you’re buying your first car (or borrowing the family car), always go for the safest option. Check out the safety ratings for both new and used cars here.
And if you do drive to the event, leave the car parked and get the free shuttle with your mates.
Let’s keep Schoolies Festival™ fun and safe!
