Abstract
The L2P – Learner driver mentor program (L2P) is a Transport Accident Commission (TAC) funded initiative which is coordinated by VicRoads. L2P provides supervised driving experience to young learner drivers aged 16-21 who do not have access to a supervising driver or vehicle. In 2018, Vicroads commissioned an evaluation to assess the program’s perofmrnace and contribution to young driver safety in Victoria. L2P was found to generate significant road safety benefits along with social and economic value by increasing economic participation and reducing social isolation.
