There are concerns the requirements for learner drivers are creating a barrier for young people finding work.

A Federal government committee says – making learners clock up high hours of supervised driving is an entrenching disadvantage and limiting access to work and education.

The Telegraph reports the federal government is being urged to work with states territories to introduce more consistent rules.

Young Australians say they are struggling to find employment or start study while trying to get their licence – especially in rural and remote areas.

Driving Instructor from Awesome Driving School Sherry Marie told Deborah Knight the Required hours range from zero in the Northern Territory to 120 in New South Wales and Victoria.
