"Provisional drivers will be banned from driving between midnight and 5am during the first six months of getting their licence, under tough new restrictions from June 30. Premier Alan Carpenter and Community Safety Minister John Kobelke outlined new changes to road rules for novice Western Australian drivers. Mr Carpenter said the changes, which included zero Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and night-time driving restrictions for P-plate drivers, were designed to protect young drivers from death or serious injury on State roads. These changes put Western Australia at the forefront of driver safety and will help prepare young drivers for a lifetime of safe driving,” the Premier said."
