07.01.2022 As we are approaching the start of the school year, perhaps the following thoughts would be something all parents could consider and please feel free to comment. Asking What Driving Lessons Cost? Could Cost You a Life Lesson The first question many people ask of a driving trainer when enquiring is how much does a lesson cost. As parents, we have invested a large amount of money in raising our children. (Food, shelter, education, clothes, swimming, singing and dancing lessons ...to mention a few). We do it because we love and want the best opportunities for them. Why is it that when it is time for our children to get in the car and learn to drive, we stop spending for their future? Why is it that the majority of people see professional driving lessons as a little need if any to their child's driving education? Why, at a time when they are at the highest risk of being involved in a collision, professional training is a low priority? On average learners, spend around six lessons with a trainer, a cost of around $270 - $420 (2020) (depending on the trainer). Six hours out of the 120 hours required before a licence test in Victoria. How do they learn the necessary skills to practice before driving with family and friends in such a short time? Money should be no object when it comes to your teenager’s safety and life. Yes, driving lessons are as important as medical appointments and education. Why would you think otherwise? Is it because they feel that road deaths only affect other people? Is it because they are going to buy the safest car and rely on the safety devises to protect them? Is it because their young adult has convinced them that they will drive slow and carefully? Let us ask the difficult question: "How many young adults who opted for cheaper lessons rates and fewer training sessions become statistics?" Young drivers remain the most over-represented group of drivers involved in collisions on our roads. The highest period for risk is shortly after licensure and continues up to age 25 https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road/tac-campaigns/young-drivers Young adults have a more significant proportion of collisions, further reflecting their inexperience on the roads contributing to increased collision risk. https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/roa/statistics/lives-lost-annual The Professionals at the Australian Driver Trainers Association Victoria recognise and support the role parents / supervising drivers play in achieving the learners 120 hours required.

06.01.2022 VICTORIA'S ROAD TOLL EXPECTED TO SURGE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS EASING Authorities fear the state’s toll road could jump in coming months as coronavirus restrictions ease and Victorians avoid public transport amid health concerns. Transport Accident Commission data shows the state’s road toll is down 19 per cent on 2019’s rolling figure, while 91 people have died on regional roads compared with 106 people at the same time last year. But despite traffic being much qui...eter, 27 people have died on Victoria’s roads since the start of August during stay-at-home restrictions. Roads Minister Ben Carroll told 3AW two million people disappeared from the public transport system during the pandemic. He said more people on the roads would lead to greater congestion, poor behaviour and possibly more deaths. That’s my fear in New York, there has been a spate of road rage fatalities and in Germany, there has been a spate of cyclist deaths, Mr Carroll said, Geelong Highway Patrol Acting Senior Sergeant Kylie Power said police would be targeting drink and drug-driving, speeding and other dangerous behaviour as traffic increases. It is sad when someone loses their life due to poor decision-making on the road, but it is devastating when I hear about an innocent person being caught up in someone else’s ignorance to road safety, Sergeant Power said. We ask that people go back to basics and drive to the conditions, be courteous of others and aware of other road users. Sergeant Power said while many people had stopped driving during the height of coronavirus restrictions, those who had continued to drive were used to travelling in lighter traffic conditions. We don’t want them to lose their patience, we don’t want to find ourselves in a position where we see a rise in road trauma, Sergeant Power said. At the end of the first lockdown, the state government announced a $340m package to target congestion on major roads. More than 700 cameras to identify bottlenecks and 200 wireless travel time sensors were also installed. TAC head of road safety Samantha Cockfield said while the toll was down, there had still been 10 more lives lost than at the same time in 2018. She urged drivers to not take risks or drink and drive and to avoid distractions or driving while tired. We’re continuing to tackle behavioural road safety issues through our campaigns, just like we did with the relaunch of our seatbelt television ad earlier this year in response to a worrying trend of seatbelt related deaths, she said.
