Victoria’s opposition has promised a $146 million driver training program for young drivers, if it wins this month’s state election.

Labor leader Daniel Andrews announced the ‘Road Safety Starts Early’ program this week, describing the scheme as a ‘world first’.

Under the proposal, a dedicated road safety centre would be constructed with the purpose of educating drivers on the dangers they may face behind the wheel.

The centre will aim to demonstrate the consequences of poor driving choices using simulators and exhibitions, along with presentations from road trauma victims and emergency workers.

Labor dubbed the ambitious project “the global hub for road safety”, with visions that road safety experts from around the world will be drawn to the facility in the future.

Every year 10 student will be enrolled in a half-day defensive driving course which will become compulsory for those wishing to gain their driver’s licence in the future.
