Raising better drivers
We need to do things differently. That’s our message to the Tasmanian State Government on road safety, as well as to drivers who supervise learner drivers. An Australian researcher has some valuable lessons for those who help young people get their driver’s licence. The key? Let the learner take more responsibility for road safety once they’ve mastered the technical skills of driving. Read the story on p. 67. There’s also plenty of room for improvement with experienced motorists – all drivers need to take more responsibility for road safety. There are certainly many who support that view, judging by the 2010 responses we received from Tasmanians that helped shape our submission to the Legislative Council Select Committee into Road Safety (learn more on p. 64). We thank everyone who sent us their comments, observations and ideas about how to make our roads safer.
