2021 Year in review for Roundtrip

The Roundtrip Learner Logbook app is an officially endorsed replacement for the NSW paper logbook.

Roundtrip will be turning 5 this year, and our app continues to grow with more trips being recorded each year and more users signing up for Roundtrip than ever before.

In the last year the number of people using our app has grown by 23.5% and 2022 is set to be an even bigger year based on some of our largest growth in January alone. 🙌

Last year was obviously a year unlike any other so let’s have a look back at how learners used Roundtrip learner logbook in 2021.

Younger people are using our app

In 2020 the average age those using our app was 17, but interestingly in 2021 we saw this average drop to 16 years old. Maybe learner drivers are getting their learner licence earlier?

Mums are still the number one supervisors

Mums supervised the most practice sessions (47.9%) in 2021, followed by dads (33.6%). Interestingly driving instructors only accounted for 1.4% of all trips recorded in 2021.

Average trip duration increased by just 1 minute in 2021

The average trip duration was 40 minutes in 2020 and we saw this grow only by 1 minute in 2021. So learners on average are spending more than half an hour out on the road when they practice driving.

Our most popular postcodes

We have learners from all over NSW using our app. But we do have a few postcodes which are more popular than others. Here are our top 5 most popular postcodes where trips were recorded in 2021:

  1. 2155 - Beaumont Hills and 4 other suburbs

  2. 2650 - Wagga Wagga and 53 other suburbs

  3. 2800 - Orange and 33 other suburbs

  4. 2640 - Albury and 15 other suburbs

  5. 2250 - Gosford and 33 other suburbs

Learners still feel great about their practice sessions

When asked to report how they feel their practice went, most learners recorded great (43.7%) or good (37.20%) good practice sessions. Just 0.41% sessions were reported as being bad and 0.17% as being awful (don't worry, it does get better!).
