The current learner approved motorcycle scheme (LAMS) was introduced in NSW in 2002 to replace the 250cc engine capacity limit for novice riders (i.e., those on learner and provisional licenses) as race replica 250cc motorcycles were over-represented in fatal and serious injury (FSI) crashes. It was subsequently adopted by VIC, QLD, SA, NT, WA, TAS, and New Zealand, albeit with some amendments in some jurisdictions. A formal review of the LAMS has not been performed since its introduction.
This webinar presented by Dr Tana Tan will provide an overview of the Austroads project that reviewed the LAMS with the aim of bringing it up to date with the latest research and information and to ensure it provides optimal safety outcomes for novice motorcycle riders.
There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.
