Novice Drivers
IGNITION - Novice Driver DVD
The Novice Driver DVD aims to educate young and inexperienced drivers about the dangers they face on our roads. The DVD includes the topics of drink and drug drive, speed, inexperience, driver distraction, fatigue and the importance of wearing seatbelts. It also includes a section on the consequences of road trauma.
The DVD will be used by teachers in high schools undertaking Driver Training and Licensing (DTAL), Registered Driver Trainers and Registered Training Organisations delivering the Drink Drive Education course.
The audience, through the driver trainers, includes young and novice drivers who are:
- currently learning to drive and are either preparing to obtain their Learner licence or are currently on their learner period; and
- driving on a provisional licence.
The Department has utilised TIO footage as well as footage of interviews with Police, Fire and Emergency Officers, Ambulance Officers and Accident and Emergency staff to develop the Novice Driver DVD - Ignition.
The DVD contains a warning at its commencement that the crash scene may cause distress to some people.
