QLD- Review after 46 young driver fatalities in past seven months


DRIVING tests for young Queenslanders soon could be tougher.

The state government is planning an overhaul of driving tests, driver training qualifications and tests conditions, the first in 14 years.
"The recommendations include redesigning the test format, reviewing the test locations and changing driver examiner qualifications," he said.
"The panel concluded the government should consider changes that 'more effectively assesses whether a learner driver with a minimum 100 hours of supervised driving is competent and safe enough behind the wheel to progress to a provisional licence'.
"It's important that Q-SAFE reflects the work done by parents and driving instructors, in addition to programs run by groups such as RACQ and Rotary to develop young drivers."
Perhaps SpeedAlerting technology should be considered as well.
