Universal pre-driver education: a targeted approach for young people and their parents/carers in Western Australia

Following lengthy consultation, the Road Safety Council of WA and Government endorsed a policy position and launched a state-wide road safety program titled Road Aware. One of three key initiatives of the Road Aware Drivers project is the development and evaluation of a pre-driver course and accompanying parent/supervisor workshop. The Pre-Driver Course is part of a comprehensive approach targeting young and new drivers in WA. The course and accompanying parent workshop, which primarily aim to promote supervised driving, strategically connect young people to the graduated licensing process in WA - the Graduated Driver Training and Licensing system.
