In Australia, individuals holding a full or P2 licence are generally permitted to tow a trailer. However, in Western Australia, there’s a maximum speed limit of 100km/h when towing, whereas all other states and territories adhere to posted speed limits.
For those with a P1 licence (or red P-plate), towing regulations vary across different regions:
- In ACT, P1 drivers can tow a trailer with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of up to 450kg.
- In NSW, P1 drivers can tow a trailer with an unladen mass of up to 250kg, provided they display a red P-plate on the rear of the trailer.
- In NT and TAS, P1 drivers can tow a trailer but must not exceed 100km/h.
- In QLD, WA, and SA, there are no towing restrictions for P1 drivers.
- In VIC, P1 drivers are generally not permitted to tow a trailer, except under specific circumstances such as work requirements, agricultural use, or when accompanied by an experienced driver with ‘driver under instruction’ plates displayed.
Learner drivers (L-platers) in NSW, VIC, and TAS are prohibited from towing trailers or any other vehicle. However, in QLD, WA, SA, and NT, learner drivers can tow trailers with a visible L plate on the rear of the trailer. In the ACT, learner drivers can only tow a trailer if its GVM doesn’t exceed 750kg.

Our Aluminium Loading Ramps are rated as “Distributed load per pair”. We never load machinery using only one ramp, and that’s why we make sure the ramps work together to carry the load that they are labeled to carry.
