New Drivers - A Good Idea?
12 Answers
First reaction is - yes it is.
But on deeper reflection questions such as:
What about those that work at night?
Why penalize those that are careful and mature?
What if a young Girl had a late breakdown and could not get back before curfew, you can bet your bottom dollar some jobsworth would prosecute her.
I was wondering if the best option might be to have compulsory cameras on the car? If caught doing something stupid or getting 3 points then a retest or ban until more education
What do ABers think given that with those stats the status quo is not really an option?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think it`s a terrible idea to have a night time curfew. Would they rather a young person walked home in the dark from their evening job in a rural bar than drive? I was brought up in a rural area and it was an abolute 'must' that you had to learn to drive as soon as possible. Most of us had our first driving lesson on our 17th birthday but I don`t remember people being particularly foolhardy then so I don`t know what`s changed nowadays. Maybe more emphasis should be placed on safe driving practices when someone is learning to drive.
I think there are other categories of drivers who should be the focus of the RAC`s concerns. I know someone who is still driving at 87 and is a complete maniac on the roads. I also know someone who came here to live from Zimbabwe and when she lived there, she purchased a fake driving licence from someone in Nigeria. When she came to live in the UK, she swapped the licence or a UK one. So not only is she driving around on the roads without never having taken a UK test, she has never taken ANY driving test. I guess someone would scream "discrimination" if anybody tried to address that issue though.
