keys2drive
In 2008, 180 drivers aged 17-25 years were killed in road crashes. People in this age group account for 26 per cent of drivers killed on Australias roads yet represent only 16 per cent of the adult population.
On 1 May 2008 the Hon Anthony Albanese MP announced that the Australian Government will provide funding of $17 million for the keys2drive initiative which, over the next five years, will deliver more than 200,000 free driving lessons to learner drivers and their parents. keys2drive is a new national learner driver program which aims to make newly licensed drivers much safer.
keys2drive has been developed by the Australian Automobile Association (AAA), and other motoring clubs around Australia, with Australian Government funding and the support of the driver training industry. It provides access to a website incorporating information, education and interactive games as well as a free lesson for both the learner driver and their supervisor in many cases a parent who may not have had a refresher on road rules and driver training for many years.
For more information on this initiative please refer to http://www.keys2drive.com.au/.
