Keys2Drive Program
Loss of Logbook Hours
Amendments to Queensland Road Rules
Under the Transport Operations (Road use Management Driver Licensing) Regulations 1999 - TORUMS, Section 14AD part (a) reference is made to:
"The young driver records in a logbook the details of 100 hours of supervised driving in a car on a road in Australia by the young driver during a 3 year period. Note - the supervised driving must happen during the 3 years before an application is made under section 14AG".
"Learner drivers who achieved their learners license after the 1
st July 2007 and started to record logbook hours straight away, will see those hours lost if they do not achieve their "P" licence before 3 years has expired" Brian Griffin, President of the Australian Driver Trainers Association (Qld) said."It works this way: If you logged 20 hours in your logbook by the end of July 2007 and you haven't achieved your "P" licence by the end of July 2010, those hours are lost and must be achieved again."
Contact Heidi today on 0437 721 774 if you think you may be affected by this and wish to book your practical driving test.
Heidi has now completed her instruction and is now a fully accredited instructor with the Federally funded national education Keys2Drive program.
The pilot program is for new drivers, their supervisors and driving instructors which aims for zero harm in the first six months of P plate driving.
Research has shown that whilst on a learners permit, casualty crashes are minimal. This rate increases by about 30 times once on their Provisional licence. The aim of the Keys2Drive program is to replicate the safe and cautious attitude of the learner before they pass their practical driving exam and to carry this throughout their Provisional licence term.
Whilst the Keys2Drive program is designed to work alongside existing driving programs, it aims to encourage learning which is:
| m Longer: |
providing more hours behind the wheel |
| m Wider: |
experiencing a greater variety of driving challenges in all conditions |
| m Deeper: |
gaining a greater understanding of the psychological, emotional and mental challenges involved and the true responsibility each driver holds. |
