Following years of advocacy from RAA, the State Government has released its intended reform package for the driver training industry.
RAA General Manager Community & Corporate Affairs Emily Perry said the state’s peak motoring body was pleased to see the Government put forward a long-awaited suite of changes and would now take time to assess the potential impacts.
“RAA has been calling for wholesale reform to the driver training industry for years to stamp out corruption and improve the availability and affordability of lessons for learner drivers,” Ms Perry said.
“While we’re encouraged the Government has finally released their intended reforms – we’ll be looking closely at the proposal to ensure all measures are in the best interests of leaner drivers, road safety and address the challenges faced by the industry.
“As South Australia’s largest drive school, we’ll take time to understand the impact of these reforms and formulate an evidence-based response on behalf of our more than 800,000 members.
“As the proposed legislation progresses through Parliament, RAA will seek to work with Government and other Members of Parliament to ensure the new framework delivers the best result for leaners, industry and road safety.”
Key changes in the State Government’s proposed reforms include:
