NRMA Opens Ulladulla Safer Driving School


NRMA Opens Ulladulla Safer Driving School

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 24 January 2008

RMA Motoring & Services has brought its Safer Driving Schools program to the South Coast, opening a new school at Ulladulla.

NRMA President Alan Evans said learner drivers would be educated about road safety during their lessons, not simply taught how to pass their licence test.

“The NRMA is pleased to be able to bring its unique style of driving school to Ulladulla, which is one of 11 franchises to be opening on the NSW South Coast,” Mr Evans said.

"We believe getting the right kind of training is critical in the early stages of driving.

"Each NRMA Safer Driving School emphasises safety from day one and offers a detailed curriculum that teaches low risk driving techniques and hazard perception.

"Our aim is to ensure every learner driver develops the right skills and knowledge to cope with the normal driving events they can expect to encounter out on the road.

"The NRMA is committed to providing the best possible resources for young people as they prepare for the responsibility of having their own driving licence.

"We want to make sure that the current generation of learner drivers is the safest ever and the Safer Driving Schools bring us one step closer to this reality."

Mr Evans said the NRMA opened 37 Safer Driving Schools in NSW and the ACT last year, with 23 more NRMA Safer Driving Schools to open by September.

"Our members are repeatedly telling us they want more driver training and education and this is what our schools are delivering," Mr Evans said.

"The program, however, is not limited to learner drivers with many experienced drivers also taking lessons to brush up on their driving skills and the latest road rules."

NRMA’s Ulladulla Safer Driving School is operational seven-days-a-week and also covers Milton and Mollymook.

Lessons are conducted in the new Hyundai i30 Hatchback, one of the safest cars on the road. Manual and automatic transmission tuition is available.

Local driving instructor, Geoff Lane is fully accredited and has extensive local experience in all aspects of low-risk driving tuition.
NRMA’s first Safer Driving School in North Strathfield, Sydney features the first high-technology driving simulators ever to be used in Australia to teach pre-licence drivers.

NRMA also produces a Safer Driving DVD and can recommend one day post-licence driving courses in Sydney and Canberra.
