2. Consideration of new information about driving offences, traffic offenders (including high-risk offenders), and the effectiveness of prevention and intervention programs targeting driving violations;
3. Consideration of future policy and program developments, particularly in light of the NSW State Plan and the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020;
4. Highlighting the role of volunteers – individually and as organisations (e.g., Rotary, Lions, etc.) – in supporting and delivering Traffic Offender Programs.
5. Consideration of including a Traffic Offender Program as a prerequisite for licence reissue following suspension, cancelation and/or disqualification.
