Learner Drivers – How Much Practice Is Enough?

 
The scary thought is that now you will be sitting alongside them while they drive you around. Your life in their hands!

Before you get started on the practice drives with your learner driver there are a few things you could consider 

Learner drivers are among the safest drivers on the road. They rarely have crashes. You and your car are safe.
   
Within the first six months of gaining a provisional license, they have gone from being the safest group of drivers to the unsafe. 

In Australia, drivers aged between 17 and 25 make up slightly more than 15% of the total population, yet they represent around 32% of serious crash casualties  
  
Driving looks easy but, like many other activities, it takes a long time to master. There is a lot to learn .


New drivers spend a lot of time and attention on the physical skills required for driving (braking etc) and forget about the other things that are most important in terms of safety


Before the learner takes to the driver’s seat. Read as much about learning to drive and your role as a person who supervisors the driving practice sessions.  
 
Find a professional driver trainer with whom you and your learner feel comfortable. The instructor will be important for teaching safe driving techniques and correcting any mistakes.

You will be working with this driver trainer for a long time to make sure the learner knows how to apply the road rules, and to see safe driving as important.

So make yourself known to the trainer- and it is a good idea for you to sit in on one of the early lessons.
