This booklet has been developed to help make this experience more
enjoyable for both Learner drivers and their supervisors.
Use this booklet in conjunction with your RTA Learner Driver Logbook as a
(02) 9871 4139 & 0423 354 154
guide to which routes you may wish to drive. It is important for the supervisor
to consider the individual needs, experience and abilities of the learner driver
at all times and for each drive.
