I'm told that when emergency services attend a road crash involving young people they routinely check the boot for occupants. Some of the restrictions may be counter productive. Yes, a few years ago was talking to a young bloke who was helping out at Aerotec and two hours later he was dead

There is, most certainly good evidence for the effectiveness of supervision as a driving risk mitigation approach, and quite a lot of it (speaking as a road safety researcher). That's one part of what's been behind the evolution of the modern Australian graduated driver licensing system - more

Interesting, but potentially meaningless as the study acknowledges that the it cannot differentiate between the many limitations that have been applied at the same time. Given the information from the study below, is 100 hours counter productive? Supervised driving 40 hours: ■ 16-year-old crash

Since people insist on making a car licence analogy, you require 20 hours MORE to be issued a car licence than an L2. On Saturday, February 11, 2017, Richard Frawley wrote: > as a holder of a PPL as well, I agree. If there is extra training needed > in the GPC syllabus then
