Road Accidents

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action he plans to take to reduce the number of road traffic fatalities among young drivers.
Answer

We are very concerned about young driver fatalities, especially, that a minority appears to have a seriously unsafe attitude to the risks. We have strengthened the driving test; have commissioned research on improving pre-driver education and how to develop safe attitudes to driving among young people; and are developing a package of measures to tackle unlicensed driving.
