Driving school reacts to calls for more road safety
It's as figures show 160 collisions involving young drivers on the road in the Thames Valley policing area.
The AA wants the next government to introduce a graduated driving licence for new drivers, putting restrictions in place including a ban on carrying peer passengers in the first six months after passing, as they look to make UK roads safer.
Figures show one in five young drivers crash within a year of passing their test and over 1,500 young drivers are killed or seriously injured on our roads each year.
The AA believes the introduction of a graduated driving licence would seriously improve those stats.
Trevor Conway from Crusade Driving School says that he's noticed there isn't always concern into how safe a new younger driver is going to be amongst parents and guardians:
"That's down to cost of lessons which are expensive. There's a temptation to get your children on the road as soon as possible, we see, rather than being safe once they've passed.
"I think this idea is a good one, as would be restricting new drivers to the power of a vehicle once you've passed, as with the motorbike licence, is also worth considering."
