LEARN HOW TO STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD
The Safer Driver Course was introduced by the NSW Government from July 2013 and it has been designed by Transport for NSW with the goal of educating young learner drivers under the age of 25 on safe driving practices.
Research shows that Learners are at a much higher risk of crashes and accidents, while they are in the mode of getting their P1 Licence. It also shows that the Learners who have more supervised driving practice have a lower chance of being involved in a fatal crash.
The main aim of the Safer Driver Course is to make people aware of safe and defensive driving methods, which can help them in the future also. Onroad Driving Education is very passionate about this course because it sets out to improve learner drivers' level of driving and enhances their defensive driving skills.
BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TRAINING ARE PROVIDED BY THE ONROAD SAFER DRIVER COURSE. THESE FOCUS ON:
