It is something we want to see them achieve, yet we are all too aware of the potential dangers they will face on the roads, especially as new inexperienced drivers.  \nProvisional licence holders are continuously over-represented in casualty crashes. Each year in the ACT, provisional drivers represent over 20% of the drivers involved in casualty crashes – despite being approximately 6% of licence holders. This supports other evidence that young, less experienced drivers are more vulnerable to being involved in a serious crash. Less experience and cognitive development are known factors in the higher rate of crashes in these age groups. This information is rightly concerning, and as parents or carers we can feel there is little we can do to reduce the risks. We may think that our role is limited and that it is best to leave it to the ‘experts’. However, there is one simple but extremely important thing that parents and carers can provide; driving practice – and the more of it the better.  \nThe message is very clear – the more practice a learner has on the roads during the learner licence period, the less chance that he or she will be involved in a crash in the high risk first year of solo driving.  \nAs part of our effort to lower road crash rates amongst young people in the ACT, we aim to ensure all young drivers receive at least 50 hours, preferably more, of driving practice under a range of conditions under parental / carer supervision during their learner licence period. The benefits of driving practice include reduced crash risk at night for provisional drivers and increased experience in more complex driving conditions.  \nYour learner driver has been provided with a pack containing the following booklets: Learning through Practice, Supervising a L","cbCaid8O9Ofx1UAC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid8O9Ofx1UAC","pdf",3128150,24,"English","# Minister's Message\n## Purpose of the Road Safety Guidance\n# Road Ready Program Overview\n## Graduated Licensing System\n# Supervision During the Learner Period\n## Practical Drive Requirements\n# How Does my Learner Get a Provisional Licence?\n## Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBT&A)\n## Government Test","[{\"question\":\"Why is driving practice during the learner period so important?\",\"answer\":\"More practice during the learner licence period lowers the chance of involvement in a crash during the high-risk first year of solo driving.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the recommended amount of supervised driving practice in the ACT?\",\"answer\":\"The aim is for young drivers to receive at least 50 hours, preferably more, of driving practice under parental or carer supervision during the learner licence period.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two ways to get a Provisional Licence in the ACT?\",\"answer\":\"The booklet states there are two options: Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBT\\u0026A) and a Government Test.\"}]","SUPERVISING - A LEARNER DRIVER - March 2018 | PDF"]
