Develop your skills

This section complements the information in Drive Safe: A Handbook for Western Australian Road Users by providing a practical guide to the driving skills, experience, good driving habits and attitudes that learner drivers need to develop.

Both young drivers and provisional drivers crash more often than other drivers because they have not had the wide range of experiences they need to drive safely by themselves. Research has shown that driving experience is a major factor in reducing road crashes and that the safest time for young drivers is when they are driving under supervision while learning.

Therefore, this section emphasises the importance of gaining extensive driving experience under supervision in a wide range of situations before you begin to drive on your own.  It will give you a better and safer foundation for your driving future.
