Haven't got all the details of this yet, but it sounds like a step in the right direction. Possible remedial classes for the grownups soon?

L-platers taught to live with cyclists
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,21384269-2682,00.html
Learner drivers will be taught to share the road with cyclists through a new national program developed by the Amy Gillett Foundation. Launched by foundation patron and Formula One driver Mark Webber in Victoria yesterday, Road Right will be promoted by the Australian Driver Trainers Association and state/territory licensing authorities.
It will give driver education via printed material and website links, detailing information and scenarios involving cyclist and motorist interaction. Featured questions relating to cyclists and motorists sharing the roads will also be used randomly during compulsory licence tests. Due to start in May, more information is available about Road Right from the Amy Gillett Foundation website at www.amygillett.org.au
