The Licence is Your Life Indigenous Drink Driving and Licencing Kit (Kit) was developed in 2011 to address road safety issues affecting Aboriginal people living in the Kimberley region of WA. The multimedia kit included a board game and supporting resources. It was popular with users and continues to be a valued resource, however, a 2019 review indicated that some aspects of the game had become dated and did not reflect current road safety issues or legislation. 

The YLYL web-based app has been developed to use either in conjunction with, or as a replacement for the Kit. The target audience has been widened to include all Aboriginal people, people living in regional and remote WA, novice drivers, and members of the CaLD community. With increasing numbers of West Australians now driving on unfamiliar territory as they holiday interstate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, YLYL can also be valuable tool in familiarising seasoned drivers with a less familiar driving landscape.

The quiz questions are designed to help people become familiar with driving practices that facilitate safe and lawful driving. The style of quiz will also help people get used to the format of the online theory test needed to be passed to obtain a Learner’s permit.

Take a look at our YLYL Toolkit to learn more.
