25.01.2022 Young Driver Crash Risk This is a harsh statistic, maybe if we teach them safer driving techniques then just maybe we can reduce the risk

17.01.2022 Practical driving experience learner driver log book Learner drivers under supervision have a very low involvement in crashes. It is only when they begin to drive solo that their involvement in crashes increases. Research indicates that learner drivers who increase their supervised on-road experience can reduce their crash risk by 30% in the first two years of solo driving. Your learner driver log book allows you and your supervising driver to record your driving experience.... You must log at least 120 hours of supervised driving, including a minimum of 20 hours of night driving, before you can attempt the driving test. Night driving hours are between sunset and sunrise. Exemptions You do not have to complete a Learner Driver Log Book if you: Are aged 25 years or over Previously held a NSW or interstate driver licence, other than a learner licence Previously held an overseas licence, other than a learner licence Hold an overseas licence, other than a learner licence, and are issued with a learner licence after failing one driving test Are specifically exempted by Roads and Maritime Services. Remember: Plan for practice on a variety of types of roads with different levels of traffic Ensure the learner driver is getting variety in the time of day Make sure you plan some night drives, preferably later in the process. Driving lessons with an instructor 1 hour is worth 3 hours For every 1 hour structured driving lesson you complete with a licensed NSW Driving instructor, you can record 3 hours driving experience in your log book.

The other 2 hours are added to your day driving hours.

Feeling too nervous 2. Being under prepared Most Common Driving Test Mistakes From these two key reasons, the following list provides an insight into the most common driving test mistakes students commit. These include: Speeding exceeding the speed limit. Failing to stop completely at stop signs. Failing to give way at various intersections roundabouts. Failing to maintain a correct road position prior to or after turning. Failing to give way in manoeuvres, for example, reversing or reverse parking. Failing to maintain a reasonable safety buffer when following or passing moving and parked vehicles, cyclists and other hazards. Failing to understand and obey regulated traffic signs, lines and road markings. Failing to respond and take evasive action when another vehicle fails to give way. Accumulating too many non-critical driving errors. For example, poor shoulder checking, indicator use, steering and pedal control, poor road position poor understanding of road rules. Poor judgement and decision making when preparing to merge or enter the line of traffic Stalling whilst in traffic. Vehicle not roadworthy.
