More Driver Licences Less Driving Offences

The Maranguka Driving Licensing Initiative resulted in 310 people obtaining their Learners and Provisional licences in Bourke between December 2015 and January 2019 – which to date has led directly to employment for 10 people and contributed to a decrease in driving offences including driving without a licence, drink driving, speeding and the associated fines.

●  35% reduction in the number of people and 38% reduction in number of young people (up to 25 years) proceeded against for driving offences from 2015 to 2017[1]
●  72% reduction in the number of young people (up to 25 years) proceeded against for driving without a licence from 2015 to 2017[2]
