Ls – Got them? Gearing up to get them?
It's a fairly well known fact that young people are seriously over-represented in road safety statistics.
But a much lesser known fact is that Learner drivers are actually the safest drivers on the road. It's only when a novice driver ‘goes solo' that their crash-risk sky rockets ... so much so that they are 20-30 times more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious crash in the first 6 months on their Ps.
To tackle this issue, keys2drive, the single largest national Learner driver safety program ever undertaken in Australia has commenced. keys2drive will see 200,000 lessons provided by specially trained, keys2drive accredited driving instructors for FREE.
Developed by Australia's motoring clubs and funded by the Federal Government, a keys2drive lesson brings together a professional driving instructor with the Learner and their supervising driver – most often mum or dad. In doing so, everyone benefits from a better understanding of how to work towards making sure the Learner driver becomes a safer P plate driver.
If you already have your Ls or are planning to get them in the next 12 months, or if you are or will be supervising a Learner driver, you can find out more information and register for a FREE keys2drive lesson at www.keys2drive.com.au
