Learner drivers need more than just a range of skills and 120 hours of supervised driving before hitting the road.

To prepare for a life of safe driving, Road Class believes Learners also require a heavy dose of knowledge and insight. One of the biggest challenges a new driver faces is combining safety functions with their practical skills.

Solid theory on safe driving fast-tracks Learners' knowledge bank.

It allows them to quickly develop hazard perception, intuition and anticipation, areas which they would otherwise have to pick up through trial and error on the road.

Learners should have sound knowledge on speed, emergency braking, wet roads, safety gaps, fatigue, distractions, attitude, alcohol and drugs etc.

Road Class provides a special program for Learner-aged secondary school students, a program that has been used at Girton Grammar School in Bendigo for the past two years.

All Learner drivers trained by Road Class receive a manual detailing all techniques and some vital safety knowledge.
