Research suggests that during the first year of driving unsupervised, is when drivers are at the greatest risk of being in a crash. According to the Australian Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics, young drivers (aged 17-25 years) are over-represented among road crash victims and accounting for ~20% of road accident victims. The research suggests this could be influenced by inexperience, risky behaviours, driving at riskier times and driving smaller and older vehicles with less safety features. Furthermore, young adults are still developing their decision-making and impulse control brain areas.
Learn 2 Live has been developed to educate and help young adults become safer road users. It can be used as an adjunct to the licensing system, helping young adults get a greater insight into driving behaviours, safe driving skills and road laws.
Children are at risk of various forms of road related injuries due to their still developing decision-making capabilities. The most common road related risks that affect Australian children include pedestrian accidents, driveway accidents, bicycle accidents, and car passenger accidents (including accidents related to exiting vehicles).
Learn 2 Live teaches children’s road safety in a fun and interactive way designed to increase childrens’ awareness of potential road-related risks.
In Australia, the laws governing drivers are highly dependent on the state or territory issuing a driver their licence. Many prioritise driver experience with regards to additional driving laws; however, age can also be a factor. For the most relevant information about driver laws and restrictions contact your relevant State or Territory roads authority.
Inexperienced drivers are more likely to engage in risky driving behaviours such as engaging with distractions. The most common distractions include friends and passengers, mobile phones and other devices, eating whilst driving and engaging with various in-vehicle distractions (e.g. loose objects, dashboard features).
