SGI again rewards learner drivers

Feb. 16, 2012

SGI is once again rewarding learner drivers across the province for improving their driving skills.

All learner drivers are asked to log their in-car hours. SGI recommends that learner drivers log a minimum of 36 hours under various driving conditions over their nine-month learning period.

The information recorded in the completed practice log helps learner drivers focus on the skills they need, and improve their driving, before taking their road test.

Each year, SGI randomly chooses 10 winners from all the practice logs submitted to receive a $250 gas card.

This year’s winners are:

Paul Mariani - Duck Lake
Kyle Zander - Wynyard
Nathan Bell - Regina
Sierra Thom - Moosomin
Troy Watson - Asquith
Joshua Kocur - Saskatoon
Yvonne Sprangers - Tisdale
Tyler Donda - Regina
Kaelan Naylor - Saskatoon
Shelton Paton - Maidstone

“Increase driving experience helps learner drivers develop safer driving habits before taking their road test,” said SGI President and CEO Andrew Cartmell. “The incentive program encourages all new drivers to gain the driving experience they need. This keeps our roads safer, and these learners are now more likely to pass the test on their first try. Congratulations to all winners.”

To be eligible for the reward program, learner drivers must submit their practice log with 36 hours completed to the driver examiner at the time of their road test, or mail it to SGI.
