Probationary Licences Taught to Teenage Drivers
A government official proposes probationary driving licences for teens with two year trial periods before eligibility for a permanent license. The plan ties to road safety education in schools for ages 12 to 16 and notes helmet use reducing motorcycle fatalities. Speed limits outside built up areas receive support. The Senate committee wrapped up public evidence and will resume hearings in Sydney next month.
