Knowing how to drive safely is beneficial not only to you and your passengers but other road users too. Many accidents are caused by inattention, poor driving skills or lack of basic knowledge about road rules. No matter what your age or situation, you can benefit from doing a safe driving course and avoid becoming a statistic.

Driver Education for Teens

Getting a driver’s license is a rite of passage and for young people is the first step towards independence and adulthood. In Queensland to get a driver’s license, you need to be 16 years of age. There are several stages to the process: learner license, provisional license – P1/ P2 then open license.

Driver education starts with the learner license, which is held for a year over which 100 hours of driving under supervision is required before being able to upgrade to a provisional license. Weekly practice with parents or friends with open licenses, as well as professional driving lessons are recommended. The year-long period is designed for teen drivers to build up a good knowledge base of driving in different conditions, i.e. wet, dry, peak traffic, daytime, evening, city and country roads.

Having a course of professional driving lessons is beneficial for new drivers, so they are getting up to date information, and not taking on bad habits of parents. Driving courses can also offer defensive driving techniques and give teen drivers confidence that they are doing everything ‘right’. There’s nothing more off-putting for a new driver than to have mum or dad tense and nervous right next to them or even worse yelling instructions. Many learner drivers prefer to have an experienced, calm instructor in the passenger seat with dual-controls so they can take over if necessary.
