MidCoast Council is hosting a Helping Learner Drivers Become Safer Drivers workshop for parents and supervisors of learner drivers in Gloucester. The session will provide information, practical advice and a structured approach to building the competency of their learner, along with confidence in teaching safe driving habits.
Some of the topics covered include laws that apply to Learners(L) and Provisional(P) licence holders, completing the learner driver log book and the benefits of well supervised on-road driving experience. A two-hour workshops will be held in Gloucester on September 21.
Road Safety Officer, Chris Dimarco said “Roads and Maritime Services recognise the important part that parents and supervisors play in supporting inexperienced drivers, and have developed the course to help them prepare for the role. We’ve had some really positive feedback from those who attended in the past, including being able to plan practice driving sessions that help their learner driver build their skills progressively.”
With inexperience being a major cause of road crashes, workshop content provides guidance for supervisors across the full breadth of driving skills, and road and traffic conditions.
The workshops will commence from 6pm at SES office, 23 Tate St, Gloucester. Light refreshments will be provided.
Bookings are required and can be made by calling (02) 6592 5399 or emailingroadsafety@midcoast.nsw.gov.au.
Please specify the Gloucester when making your booking. While the workshop is aimed at those teaching a learner driver, learners may benefit from some of the workshop content and are welcome to attend with their supervisor.
