Become Safe Drivers Workshop!

On Wednesday 3 May from 6pm-7.15pm, join them on Microsoft Teams and learn some tips and tricks on how you can supervise your young driver when they’re logging hours for their Ls.

Sometimes it can be nerve-wracking to be in the passenger seat and supervise your child or younger sibling when they’re logging their hours for their Learners. That’s why Penrith Council and Transport for nSW have partnered to run a free online workshop to provide you with some of the best tools and tips when it comes to Learner Driver supervision.

The workshop will cover topics such as:

• How to supervise learner drivers

• How to complete the Learner Driver Logbook

• The important role you play in supporting your child or young adult while they learn how to drive

• What the license conditions for Learners and

Provisional License holders are

• How to complete 120 hours of supervised driving with a minimum of 20 hours of night driving

• Advice on holding L plates for a minimum of one year before a Provisional (P1) License

• You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and receive advice from a Road Safety expert.

The workshop is best suited for anyone supervising a person under 25 years or younger. You can be a parent, older sibling, or older person supervising a child, sibling or young adult in getting their Ls.

The workshop will be held on Microsoft Teams. You can access Teams via PC, laptop or mobile phone, and will need internet access.

Limited spots available.

If the workshop is full, you will be offered a place on the waiting list.

Wondering who can supervise a learner driver?

If you want to supervise a learner driver, you must hold a current full Australian driver licence. Both a supervisor and a learner driver can be fined if the supervisor does not have a full Australian license. For more information visit Penrith Council’s page on facebook or call 4732 7777
