Young Driver Development Program
For local & surrounding L & P plate drivers
We annually subsidise places for local learner and probationary drivers to attend professional defensive driving training with Murcotts.
The full-day program helps young drivers develop safer driving habits, improve hazard awareness and gain valuable practical skills behind the wheel.
Because getting your licence is exciting. Getting home safely is even better.
