Some sobering facts...
Road traffic injuries are the number one cause of death for young people worldwide. Casualty rates among young drivers in the UK are the highest in Europe, with newly qualified drivers being especially at risk. It is a fact that the first 2 years of driving are the most dangerous for newly qualified drivers, with the first 6 months being particularly critical. During this time your son or daughter is at a much greater risk of being killed or injured in a collision than an experienced driver.

It's commonly acknowledged that young drivers tend to be more vulnerable and prone to taking risks than their older counterparts, as well as being more easily influenced by others. The question is why? And, just as importantly, what can be done about it?
