Young Australian students aim to change driving behaviour with new App

No Yelling is one of the most innovative and forward thinking Driving Schools Perth has to offer. It was founded and run by three 20-year-old Australian students who were less than happy with their learning experience and wanted to make a change.

The change is HERE!

Over the past few months we have been working rigorously on improving the way Australian Learner Drivers prepare for the dangers of driving. A large part of the changes we have been instigating involve creative new technology and modern teaching techniques. These capabilities allow us to relate to our young demographic unlike any other organization in Australia. Through our recent research we came across some pretty astonishing statistics. The most profound and saddening statistic we discovered involved young driver fatalities (17-25 years of age). Of all the Australian road fatalities in the past 5 years, drivers between the ages of 17-25 years were 84.7% more likely to die than the average.

The Graph below depicts this horrible fact.

As can be seen in the above graph, over the past 5 years more 17-25 year olds have died on the roads than any other age groups.

The No Yelling Goal!

It is our goal to reduce all deaths on Australia Roads, especially drivers between the ages of 17-25 years.

How we are going to get there?!

Outside of providing great driving lessons, with the use of our modern teaching techniques and graduate learning program, we are attempting to develop a program that assists learners in every aspect of driving. No Yelling has created a Learning Application for Apple, Android and Microsoft devices that resonates with our young learners. We know how our young people think because we are young ourselves. Through experience we found that the best way to get across to the younger generation is through fun, modern technology. Our App has all the features and rules integrated that learners require to become a confident and safe driver, before they even step foot in a car!

The App:

The App was designed to test the student’s knowledge of the Australian road rules and what they should do when faced with difficult driving situations. Since launching the App, we have had a great response, with over 2000 unique users in Brisbane within the first 3 weeks of testing. We hope that when the App is publicized, and used widely throughout Australia, that we can easily spread awareness of the number of young driver fatalities.

Our Questions:

Through our knowledge of Australian Roads and trying driving conditions, we created a large number of unique questions. By sourcing the exact Australian Road Rules and Signs as well as our general knowledge we created challenging questions that test the learners ability to cope with extreme driving situations.

Accessibility:

By making the App available on all devices, we can ensure that anyone who needs or wishes to learn the exact road rules, to become a safer and more confident driver, can. Although this has been quite a costly endeavor for No Yelling, we know that anyone who uses the App and the parents of all teenagers around Australia, and possibly the World, will appreciate the effort we have put into the app, in order to save young lives.
