Already the state’s largest provider of traffic offender intervention programs, PCYC NSW is one of the key providers of the state government’s Safer Drivers Course for Learner Drivers.
It is a combined theoretical and practical course for under-25-year old learner drivers who have completed 50 hours of log book driving hours.
Successful completion of a three hour group discussion session and a two-hour in-vehicle driving coaching session will allow learner drivers to claim a credit of 20 hours off their compulsory 120 hours of logged driving experience.
PCYC, in partnership with the NSW Driver Trainers Association, is now taking bookings at Lithgow for a maximum of 12 learner drivers per session.
The first Lithgow course was held on Friday night.
PCYC NSW general manager of member services Justin Hayes said the curriculum had been developed by a board of independent road safety experts.
“They bore in mind that the most dangerous time for a young driver was the six months after they began driving independently on their P Plates,” he said.
“The Safer Drivers Course has been designed to address the road safety risks that drivers under 25 face.
