NSW Police Posted the Following on its Facebook Page 6.4.20 Re: Driving Lessons & COVID-19
#COVID19 Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I take a learner driver for a lesson?
A: Under the Public Health Orders, a person cannot leave their place of residence without a reasonable excuse.
We consider that it would be a reasonable excuse for a person to leave their house to receive driving lessons (either from a driving instructor or a member of their family), given that this is a learning activity that cannot be done from home and is akin to the listed reasonable excuse of travelling to attend an educational institution where you cannot learn from home.

More than 26,000 high school students visit Quodos Bank Arena in Sydney over three days every year to witness simulated crash scenarios and hear from road trauma survivors as part of a road safety initiative designed to encourage young people to make safer choices as a driver and passenger.
Young drivers are most at risk in the first six months of driving solo on their P-Plates and represent approximately 25% of hospital road trauma admissions.
Bstreetsmart posted a video to YouTube of one of their live events which provides teens and their parents with a realistic look at the trauma caused by road crashes and gives them information and strategies in an attempt to reduce serious injuries and deaths. Not alI students get the opportunity to attend such an important event, so to view the full 3.5 hour program click on the following link: https://youtu.be/6EFfj34S9ZA
