Last modified: September 9, 2008 - 9:16 AM
A free two hour workshop for parents and supervising drivers is being presented by the Yass Valley Council Road Safety Officer, Mark Foran at the Council Chambers on Wednesday 22 October 2008. Students who intend to apply for their learners permits this year are also welcome to attend.
The course, Helping Learner Drivers Become Safer Drivers, has been developed by the RTA and offers hands on advice on how to provide the most effective driving practice for learner drivers.
“The Graduated licensing scheme means that there is a requirement of one complete year on L plates with 120 hours minimum supervised driving, including 20 mandatory night time driving” said Mr Foran.
“A more rigorous driving test is also in place, focusing on hazard perception and driver reaction”.
The course covers topics such as:
- How to use the learner driver log book
- How to plan supervised on road driving instruction sessions
- How to deal with difficult situations as they arise during driving practice
- The importance of giving learner drivers constructive feedback.
“Course participants will have the opportunity to win a free driving session from a professional driving instructor. Each participant will also be issued with course material folders and a light supper will be served, all free of charge”. said Mr Foran.
The graduated licensing scheme for learner drivers is all about reducing the crash rate for young drivers. Bookings for the Helping Learner Drivers Become Safer Drivers course are essential and can be made by phoning The Yass Valley Council Office on 62261477 or Mark Foran on mobile phone 0429 043 642.
