Road Safety

Indeed. I just do not know how they afford it. But they do—they get the money from somewhere. Before the Member intervened on me I was talking about graduated licensing, which is not unheard of. Some states in the US have such licences, as too do Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France and even Northern Ireland. There is a template, and we can see how it works overseas. It does not need to be piloted. We know that it works to bring down road deaths. I mentioned Gwyneth Dunwoody earlier, who spoke in this Chamber on 7 February about her report on novice drivers. Her Committee called for some restrictions on new drivers, but unfortunately those recommendations were rejected by the Government. Her Committee also wanted restrictions on novice drivers carrying passengers aged between 10 and 20 between 11 o'clock at night and 5 o'clock in the morning, which sounds draconian, but as we know from the facts that is when many accidents take place.
