Roundtrip Learner Logbook is now three years old! 🥳
To celebrate we thought we’d share some insights into how learner drivers in NSW are practicing over a series of articles.
In this first article we’re going to look at how learner drivers are using Roundtrip.
But first, for those of you who haven’t tried Roundtrip, here’s a quick overview of the app!
What is Roundtrip?
The Roundtrip Learner Logbook app is an officially endorsed replacement for the NSW paper logbook.
This means learners don’t need to carry a paper logbook with them again when they practice, they can just use Roundtrip instead.
We’ve made Roundtrip super easy to use; learners just have to tap the record button in the app before they start their car. Once that's done they can put the phone away and focus on learning to drive.
Okay, on to the interesting insights from the last 3 years!
How many KMs recorded?
Verified NSW learners using the app have driven over 22,800,000 km. That’s equal to 568 times around the world!
How old are learner drivers?
Those using Roundtrip are on average 17.6 years old. The oldest learner driver we have is 52 and the youngest is 16 (which is good as we’d be worried if there were any younger considering it’s the law!).
What's the average practice length?
The average trip duration for all verified learner drivers using the app is 37.6 minutes. The shortest practice trip recorded is just 1 minute long. Every minute counts!
How many trips were added?
A total of 1,037,434 trips have been added to the app by verified NSW learner drivers so far. 77.3% of these trips were recorded using our automatic Record Trip feature. The rest were added manually (most likely transferred from the paper logbook).
How do learners feel about their practice?
When asked to report how they feel their practice went, most learners had great (43.04%) or good sessions (39.30%). Just 0.2% of sessions were reported as being awful (don't worry, it does get better!).
In the next article, we’ll look at some of the record holders, including the most trips, most logged hours and most heavy traffic trips logged (we don’t envy this record holder!).
If you’re a learner you can download Roundtrip for iOS here, or sign up to be the first to hear when the Android version is released (we’re in the test phase for it at the moment).
The sample is from verified NSW learner drivers in the Roundtrip app. Verified refers to users who have an account with Roundtrip, have been successfully recognised as a valid learner driver by TfNSW through the app, and have added at least one trip to their logbook.
