Young driver crackdown urged.

ABI urges being tough on young drivers

The ABI (Association of British Insurers) are encouraging the government to legislate tougher rules on young drivers. They have urged the government to introduce a minimum time period of being a learner driver before they sit their tests and also a limit on the number of passengers they can carry once they have passed the test.

Director of general insurance at the ABI said, 'Every day, four people are killed or seriously injured in crashes involving young drivers, and the trend is getting worse.....by doing so, this tragic loss of life can be reduced.'
