This report presents the Travelsafe Committees findings and recommendations from its inquiry, 'Reducing the road toll for young Queenslanders is education enough?'. During this inquiry, the committee considered the role of education and training for young and novice drivers and riders as well as other measures to produce safer young and novice drivers and riders. The committee believes there are a number of fronts to achieve reductions in young and novice driver and rider crashes in Queensland. They involve the use of post-licence driver and rider education linked to the graduated licensing system; better utilisation of the learner licensing stage to gain safe, supervised driving and riding experience; and the development of a substantial research and development program for driver education and training by governments in partnership with other stakeholders such as the motor vehicle industry.
