Why the Safer Driver Course?
- Risk Reduction: Young drivers (15-29) are disproportionately represented in casualties. This course builds awareness of safe behaviours to reduce crash risk.
- Resilience: Learn attitudes that lead to better resilience and low-risk driving choices as you progress to P-plates.
- Interactive: Sessions are designed to be engaging. Active participation is required.
- 20 Hours Credit: Successful completion counts as 20 of your required logbook hours.
