It aims to enhance the safety of learner drivers by providing practical guidance on responding to situations like vehicle breakdowns, flat tires, or minor accidents.
Participants will learn about key aspects of roadside safety, such as the proper use of hazard lights, how to pull over safely on ACT roads, and what steps to take when calling for roadside assistance. The course covers essential vehicle maintenance basics, including checking tire pressure, oil levels, and other routine tasks that help prevent breakdowns.
