The government is considering the introduction of a 'refresher course' on road rules for people who are renewing their licence.
abc.net.au/news/queensland-road-rules-licence-retesting-safety-measures/102204738Queensland motorists could be required to complete an online course on changes to road rules when renewing their licences as part of a raft of proposed road safety measures.
It is one of a range of suggested measures following the Road Safety Roundtable held earlier this year, which was prompted by QueenslandMr Bailey said the refresher course would not be designed to be an onerous and time-consuming test but would update drivers to changes in rules. "It might look like, you go online, you have a range of questions that cover the new territory that's happened since you last got your licence," he told ABC Radio Brisbane.
"It's designed to be a refresher course, that people would look to do in an easy online way, that gives you a good review of what's happened in the last four or five years, since you got your licence last time."Mr Bailey said the government was seeking feedback on the new road safety ideas, which also include an immediate licence suspension for high-range speeding offences.
He said if people were caught travelling at 40kph or more over the speed limit, "there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever".
