​

20 Logbook Hours for 5 Course Hours $140

 

Get 20 logbook hours for doing a 5-hour course and learn how to be a safer driver. This course was designed to develop safe driving strategies for learner drivers under 25 years of age, who are at greater risk of being involved in a fatal accident. Research shows that drivers under 25 years old are 20 times more likely to be involved in serious or fatal accidents. Research also indicates that the more supervised practice a learner driver can do the lower the risk that of them to be involved in an accident.

 

The NSW Government conducted a review of the licensing system and during 2013 the safer driver course was introduced. The Australian Driver Trainers Association (ADTA) has a long history of promoting and developing safe driving practices. Our history can be traced back over 50 years. We regularly consult and advise the NSW Government on road safety matters, and we are fully accredited by the RMS to conduct this course for learner drivers in NSW.

 

The RMS Safer Driving Course is conducted regularly in our Minchinbury location.  New dates are coming up all the time, please contact us for what is currently available.
