Media Statement: Drivers’ License Age for Males in NSW

MEDIA STATEMENT 

 

24 September 2022

 

Contrary to recent media reports, the Australasian College of Road Safety has not, and is not in the process of, proposing to the Government an increase to the age when males in NSW are eligible to obtain a drivers’ license.

Road safety is an area of major concern for our communities that needs to be addressed wholistically. There is no one answer. If we are to achieve ‘Vision Zero’ – the elimination of deaths and serious injuries on our roads by 2050 – then all evidence-based solutions should be considered.
