A Full System Of Graduated Licensing For Younger Drivers?

It is currently all over the news – a government commissioned report has stipulated that a full system of graduated driver licensing would reduce crashes and casualties involving young drivers.  It estimates it would result in 4,471 fewer casualties and £224 million in cost savings annually. Read the report.

Julie Townsend, deputy chief executive at Brake, says: “Through our support services for bereaved and injured crash victims, we witness the suffering and devastation that results from crashes involving young, inexperienced drivers. We wholeheartedly welcome this report, which is further recognition of the compelling case for graduated driver licensing. We urge the government to act swiftly and decisively by committing to a full system of graduated driver licensing, to help reduce the danger young drivers pose to themselves and others.”
