Driving instructors are calling for more robust training requirements for novice drivers

The Government wants to scrap the practical test required for a full driver licence in a process overhaul.

Restricted drivers under 25 would need to keep a clean record for 18 months - or a year if they've completed an advanced driving course.

Institute of Driver Educators President Mark Revill-Johnson also wants supervised practice requirements.

He says drivers would be more competent if they were taught in different conditions.
