Protect Young Drivers: Why Passing Isn't Enough

In this episode, Terry is joined by Rebecca Morris from Protect Young Drivers to explore one of the biggest challenges on our roads: young driver risk.

Rebecca shares how Protect Young Drivers is evolving from a simple resource into a growing national movement, and how instructors can play a key role. There’s also discussion around graduated licensing, the proposed minimum learning period, and why collaboration across the industry has never been more important.

If you care about developing safer drivers, not just test passes, this conversation will make you think.
