Why the Learner Driver system is wrong

In 2007, due to road fatalities among young drivers, the learner period more than doubled from 50 hours to 120 hours in NSW and Victoria, but new research suggests these changes have done nothing to change road tolls. For almost 25 years, teenagers in New South Wales have been logging their driving hours, but with little evidence on the benefits, until now. So should they be scrapped and what is needed instead?
