Narrandera Shire Council is supporting NRMA Safer Driving - Wagga Wagga to provide the Safer Drivers Course locally.

Learner drivers will receive 20 hours of log book credit when they complete the five hour Safer Drivers Course.

The Safer Drivers Course helps young drivers on their L-plates prepare for driving solo when they graduate to provisional licences. To complete the course, you must be on your L-plates, aged under 25 and have completed at least 50 log book hours of driving (including some night driving).

The course consists of two modules. Module 1 is the group discussion with a maximum of twelve learners. Learning is similar to a classroom environment. Module 2 is the in-car practical learning with a qualified driving instructor and another student. The drives are completed in an automatic car provided by NRMA Safer Driving.

Module 1 will be delivered 9.30am-12.30pm Saturday. Participants will have a session for module 2 scheduled on either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.

Disadvantaged learners may be eligible to attend the course for free. To apply for a free place you need to complete a Safer Drivers Course Concession Application Form and contact the course provider. The form is available from Narrandera Council or online at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/about/forms/45072000.pdf You will also need to provide a copy of your original supporting documents (such as your concession card).
