More than 10,000 Queenslanders have successfully completed an Australian-first, online program to earn their learner licence.
At least 50% of Queenslanders taking their learner driver licence exam are now doing so through PrepL, the online and learning assessment set to replace the traditional written exam, transport and main roads minister Mark Bailey says.
“Queensland is leading the way in improving the safety and competency of new drivers and this is a significant milestone for the new program,” he says.
“The Palaszczuk Government’s PrepL program is the biggest change for the learner driver test since it was established.
“Despite PrepL being launched five months ago, more than half of new drivers have already made the choice to complete the interactive program instead of the old written test.”
The program can be used across multiple devices, including smart phones, tablets and computers, allowing customers to complete their learning anywhere, anytime and at their own pace.
“Importantly, PrepL does not only test knowledge of the road rules, but also focuses on safe driving attitudes and sharing the road with others,” Bailey adds.
“Statistics show motorists aged 16 to 24 years are one of Queensland’s most at-risk groups, and the PrepL program is a great way to share the important message about safe driver behaviour.”
Alternative arrangements are available for customers unable to access the online program.
