GRADUATED DRIVING LICENCES

That this House recognises that young drivers between the ages of 16 and 25 are disproportionately involved in road crashes with 22 per cent of people killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads having been in a crash involving a young car driver, despite only nine per cent of driving licence holders being aged 25 years or under; believes that this is a tragic waste of young lives and has an appalling effect on their families and friends; further recognises that other countries including the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia have introduced successful measures to address this problem which have saved lives; welcomes the Government's decision to bring forward a Green Paper looking at ways to reform the way young people learn to drive; and calls on the Government to give serious consideration to implementing graduated driver licensing which would make young drivers safer and would reduce car insurance premiums.
