Workshops to provide support and assistance to supervisors of learner drivers will be held in Gloucester, Tuncurry and Taree during October.
"If you're planning to supervise a learner driver, don't miss these Transport for NSW workshops," said MidCoast Council's Road Safety Officer, Chris Dimarco.
The workshops will be held in Gloucester, Tuncurry and Taree and will run for two hours, with light refreshments provided.
You'll gain practical advice about current laws for L and P licence holders, the role of a learner driver supervisor, completing the learner driver log book, the benefits of supervised on-road driving experience, and how to encourage low risk driving habits in your learner.
These free workshops have been designed by Transport for NSW to provide support on how to go about giving lessons in a structured and effective way.
"A learner's early experiences can shape their views about safe driving. Getting expert advice about your role as a supervisor can help your learner get the best possible start," explained Mr Dimarco.
"The tips you'll learn will increase your confidence and help reduce the stress that can be associated with supervising a learner."
The workshops will be held in three locations in the MidCoast:
Gloucester: Tuesday 22 October, 6pm, at the MidCoast Council Customer Service Point, Railway Street, Gloucester. Use the side entry.
Tuncurry: Wednesday 23 October, 6pm, at the rear of the Rural Fire Service, Manning Lane, Tuncurry.
Taree: Thursday 24 October, 6pm, at the MidCoast Council Customer Service and Administration Centre, Yalawanyi Ganya, 2 Biripi Way, Taree.
Learner drivers are welcome to come along too.
