Provisional driving licence holders are limited to 90kph, indicated by a red P plate displayed on the rear.
Learner drivers are limited to 80kph, indicated by an L plate displayed on the rear.
Both are allowed to drive on the Motorway.
All vehicles are expected to keep to the left (slow lane) unless overtaking.

By driving at 95kph, I'm still faster than either a P plater or an L plater would be while driving my car in the slow lane.
If I need to overtake someone, I do it at increased speed, then change back to the slow lane, as any responsible driver should.
If i understand that right, the speed limit is the same for all roads including within the cities? Over here standard country roads are 55mph (88kph), and the expressway system is between 65-70mph (different in different states). Within cities about the lowest I have seen is 25mph right dead in the heart of a larger city, 35 is more typical for my area atleast.

Everything else looks the same as the US except the slow lane is on the right since we drive on the opposite side of the road as you guys (and a lot of other places lol).
