Young drivers are over-represented in car crashes due to various causes including inexperience, risky behaviour and distractions.
The Graduated Licensing System is a new licensing process to help improve the road safety of younger drivers.
For full information about the system which began in January 2007, visit the Graduated Licensing System website for all the information learner and probationary drivers need to know.
The following animated video, The Direct Route to Licence Town, provides an overview of the graduated licensing system.
