Safer Drivers Course NSW
The Safer Drivers Course NSW is a combined theoretical and practical course for learner drivers under 25 years old who have completed 50 log book driving hours.
The Safer Drivers Course NSW involves two modules:
- Module 1: Three hours of facilitated group discussion on how to manage risks on the road.
- Module 2: Two hours of in-vehicle coaching with an instructor and another learner, to develop low-risk driving strategies.
Courses are run by accredited course providers, and are restricted to a maximum of 12 participants for Module 1. The course provider supplies a dual-controlled vehicle for the in-vehicle coaching module.
You must complete the modules in order, and Module 2 should be completed within one month of Module 1. You will only receive the 20 hours log book credit when you complete both modules within one month of each other.
You can’t fail the course – there is no assessment or pass/fail component.
If you’re unable to attend a booked course, or complete both modules, contact the course provider to discuss cancellation and refund arrangements.
Benefits of Safer Drivers Course NSW
The course provides learner drivers with:
- Driving strategies – such as speed management, gap selection, hazard awareness and safe following distances, so they are more prepared when they drive unsupervised on their provisional licences
- Hazard and risk awareness – identify situations that may put you at greater risk of a crash and consider strategies that will help avoid them
- 20 hours of log book credit – meaning you only need to complete 100 hours of supervised driving outside the course. This credit is in addition to the 3 for 1 lesson credit.
