Road safety—driver education
(Question No 2952)

Miss C Burch asked the Minister for Justice, Consumer Affairs and Road Safety, upon notice, on 21 February 2020:

(1) Why was the preamble left out of the recent learner logbook changes.

(2) How are driving instructors meant to recite the preamble to students four times during the process as required under the Code of Practice for Accredited Driving Instructors.

(3) Why was the legal content required not included in the recent learner logbook changes such as the (a) students’ rights and (b) auditor contact details.

(4) Can the Minister advise if record of completion of the Hazard Perception Test is required to be present before the final drive Competency 23 and/or issue of the certificate.

(5) Why were the elements/standards required to meet a Competency not included in the recent logbook changes.

(6) Can the Minister advise if a driving instructor should issue a certificate if a student completes Competency 23 but does not have the required number of logbook hours; if so, what level of reassessment is required if a certificate expires under the current three-month period.

(7) Why was Competency 21 (System of Vehicle Control) that had an image to demonstrate to the students in the previous logbook, not included in the new logbook.

(8) Why was a competency notes/feedback section, where driving instructors could provide information about why the student was unsuccessful with an assessment, that was included in the previous logbook, not included in the recent logbook changes.

(9) Can the Minister advise when the practise hazard perception test will be available online for students to access.

(10) Can the Minister advise if the Code of Practise for Accredited Driving Instructors will be updated to reflect the recent changes.

(11) Given there are numerous formatting issues in the new logbook such as (a) the numbering on one of the reviews states 18-22 instead of 1-22, (b) 1-17 Review & 1-22 Review are not listed in the table of contents and (c) Competency 6 (Steering) is not listed, can the Minister advise when these formatting issues will be resolved.
