Young Drivers

Learning to drive opens up a whole new world of freedom and independence but it also puts you at risk.

 

Road crashes are the biggest killer and cause of paralysis and limb loss amongst young people – so those who do survive are not always the lucky ones.

 

Young drivers take higher risks than other drivers, many of you drive too fast for the conditions, carry passengers that lead you to distraction, overtake dangerously and, sometimes, drive under the influence of drink or drugs.

 

More and more road deaths are due to young male drivers taking more risks and unfortunately, it’s often innocent females, girlfriends or mates who are killed as a result, with passengers taking the brunt of a crash.

 

This website contains loads of information on driving safely and looking after your car as well as giving tips on how to choose a car, how to find an instructor, plus loads more.
