J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:09): The new South Australian mylicence website (mylicence.sa.gov.au.) has been launched this week on the internet. It provides useful tips and up-to-date information about everything driving related: from safe driving to what you need to make sure your car is roadworthy. The website has answers for young people who want to know more about getting a licence and keeping it. There are sections dedicated to learner drivers, P1 and P2 provisional holders and full licence holders. It also provides information to parents and supervisors on what they need to know about being a supervising driver. Changes to the graduated licensing scheme will be introduced from 4 September this year. The new rules for drivers with a learner's permit or provisional licence are available on the mylicence website, including what high-powered vehicle restrictions will apply. The website also has a practice learner's theory test and a hazard perception test to give young drivers an opportunity to practise and learn driving knowledge and skills. Safer driving tips are included and cover how to avoid the common mistakes that drivers make, warning on the dangers of using a mobile phone while driving, the hazards of driving at night and minimising risk while driving. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Could we keep background noise down please? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Thank you, Madam Speaker. A subscription feature is available on the website for new and young drivers, parents and supervising drivers to register for regular mylicence emails, including updates and important driving information. This new website is just one part of a coordinated effort to reduce road trauma among young people by offering information and practical ideas for young people on how to be safe drivers.
