What is Keys 2 Drive?
Keys2drive is the single largest National Learner Driver safety program in Australia’s history. The program has been developed by the Australian Automobile Association (AAA) and its members: NRMA, RACV, RACQ, RACWA, RAASA, RACT and AANT. The Australian Government has committed $17 million over five years to implement keys2drive nationally.
To help reduce the high crash risk of young drivers, Keys2drive fosters the relationship between the learner driver and their supervisor under the guidance of a keys2drive accredited professional driving instructor, through a free lesson paid for by the Australian Government.
Why Keys2drive?
We know that learner drivers are the safest drivers on the road, but the moment that they are no longer supervised – when they gain their P plates and begin to drive solo – their risk jumps dramatically (20 – 30 times).
This risk remains greatest for the first six months of solo driving. Coaching and support for Learner drivers in how to learn safe driving behaviour is an extremely important factor in reducing the risk associated with solo.
