During this phase, you’ll face certain restrictions, including limits on mobile phone usage and the number of passengers allowed.
Second Probationary Permit (Green Plates): After completing the 12-month Red Plates period, you’ll move on to the Green Plates stage, which lasts for 3 years. While some restrictions are relaxed, it’s crucial to maintain a clean driving record as you work toward obtaining your full, unrestricted license.
