Default RTA's answer to young drivers - I promise Pledge

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ipr...-1225843005131

Quote:
YOUNG people will be able to practice driving tests on their iPhones, have representation on a new road safety body and be the targets of a massive online campaign in a revolutionary assault on the road toll.
The State Government will roll out the unprecedented multimedia enterprise over the next three months in partnership with The Daily Telegraph's I Promise campaign.
Learner and P-plate drivers will be offered free I Promise glovebox guides at every motor registry and be encouraged to take the safe driving pledge when they go for their licence.
The RTA website will also link directly to the I Promise pledge.
Young drivers who take the pledge will receive an I Promise car sticker, which is also free with Monday's The Daily Telegraph. The glovebox guide will be free in next Saturday's The Daily Telegraph. The announcement follows a wave of support for the campaign, with triple V8 Supercar champion Craig Lowndes yesterday taking the I Promise pledge.
He joins hundreds of ordinary drivers who have pledged to take responsibility for their road behaviour. There are four main planks to the Government campaign:
* AN iPhone application allowing learner driver to practice their driver knowledge test;
* AN online campaign including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to support I Promise;
* A PUSH for learner drivers to take the I Promise pledge; and
* A NEW road safety advisory committee to advise the Transport and Roads Minister on issues of road safety, with a person aged under 25 appointed to the committee.
Personally... they basically are just asking young drivers to drive safe.... I can't see it working...
