Keeping Ku-ring-gai’s learner drivers safe

Published on 01 March 2024

Council is holding a free online workshop offering practical advice and information to parents/carers and supervisors on how to help Learner drivers become safer drivers.

Ku-ring-gai Council has teamed up with Transport for NSW to hold the workshop scheduled for Thursday 7 March between 6.30 – 8pm.

As young people approach driving age it is important they and their parents/carers are aware of what to expect as a learner driver and how to achieve the 120 supervised driving hours in their logbook. 

The workshops will provide participants with the best tools and tips when it comes to learner driver supervision and will cover topics such as how to supervise learner drivers, complete the learner logbook, and the important role supervisors play in supporting the learner driver.

There will also be an opportunity to ask any questions from a road safety expert.

Mayor Sam Ngai said that the workshop would go a long way to keeping our young drivers safe on the roads.

“Parents and supervisors of learner drivers play a crucial role in making our roads safer.” 

“The Helping Learner Drivers Become Safe Drivers workshops are a fantastic opportunity for supervisors to learn how to best support their teenagers, siblings or friends who are learning how to drive.”

“Parents and supervisors who have participated in this workshop in the past have found that it boosted their confidence, helped them better plan driving sessions and allowed them to share their experiences with other parents and supervisors.”

An information kit will be posted to all registered participants and log in details will be provided closer to the date. Please ensure your postal address is up to date.

Bookings are essential. Registrations close on Tuesday 5 March.
