License Level Support
For participants preparing for their Learner Permit, myDRIVESCHOOL can help build early road safety knowledge before getting behind the wheel. It gives users a safe way to practise recognising signs, understanding traffic conditions, responding to hazards and becoming familiar with common driving situations.
This can be helpful for participants who are new to driving, feeling nervous about starting, or wanting to build confidence before practical lessons.
For drivers on their Red Ps, the program can support safer decision-making during the early stages of independent driving. It gives participants the opportunity to practise situations such as managing speed, changing lanes, identifying hazards and responding to other road users in a controlled online environment.
This can help reinforce safe driving habits while participants are gaining real-world experience.
For Green P drivers, myDRIVESCHOOL can help strengthen confidence and road awareness as they continue developing independence on the road. Participants can use the program to refresh key skills, practise more complex driving situations and continue building safe driving behaviours.
This level is useful for drivers who want to feel more prepared, capable and aware as they move towards their full licence.
