The two-hour course, Helping Learner Drivers Become Safer Drivers, will offer parents and supervisors hands-on advice on how to provide the most effective driving practice for learner drivers.
“The Graduated Licensing Scheme is all about reducing the crash rate for young drivers,” Moree Plains and Gwydir Shire Road safety officer, Renee McMillan said.
“Parents and supervisors of novice drivers have a crucial role to play in making our roads safer, and that is why the RMS has developed a course to better support them.”
The course will cover topics such as:
• Laws for learner and P-plate drivers.
• How to use the Learner Driver Log Book.
• How to plan on-road driving sessions.
“Parents and supervisors who have attended this course found it boosted their confidence, helped them better plan driving sessions and allowed them to share experiences with other parents and supervisors,” Mrs McMillan said.
Council’s Greg Fisher and Sharnah-Lee Sutton both agreed the workshop would be beneficial not only to the supervisor but also the learner.
The workshop will be held in the council committee room at 6pm this evening and is open to anyone in the community who supervisors or will supervise a learner driver.
