Learner driver mentor program ‘Braking the Cycle’ for young drivers
The PCYC Braking the Cycle program has given thousands of young Queenslanders a chance for motoring independence and to become safer, better-informed drivers.
Member for Gladstone, Glenn Butcher said 51 young budding drivers have already taken part in the program, with 21 of those going on to get their licence.

“They have been supported by 25 mentor drivers with over 2,000 driving hours and 41,000km delivered from Gladstone,” Mr Butcher said.
The program involves volunteer mentor drivers taking young learner drivers under their wing and helping them reach the required 100 hours of supervised driving experience in order to achieve their driver’s licence.
PCYC Braking the Cycle is now available in 42 locations around Queensland.
