MOTOR racing popularity and youthful exuberance are challenges when devising strategies to increase road safety among young drivers, a government business enterprise scrutiny committee has heard.

He said that education campaigns were positive but did not completely address the issue. Infrastructure Minister Graeme Sturges said he hoped a school driver education program would be expanded.
