A State Government road safety trial is aiming to reduce road deaths among young drivers.
On Tuesday, Roads Minister Duncan Gay launched The P Drivers Project at the UWS Quakers Hill campus because he said 28 deaths over the past three years in the western Sydney region was frightening.
“Sadly the western Sydney region has the highest amount of P-plate driver crashes and fatalities in NSW, which is why we are holding this important event here,” Mr Gay said.
“It is the largest research project of its type carried out anywhere in the world.”
The project will be trialled in Victoria and NSW.
Road Transport Authority director Peter Wells also spoke at the launch and said the trial would be beneficial as it focused on awareness of road risks, the importance of decision making and developing safe driving behaviour. The $10 million project was a joint initiative for public and private sector organisations.
