Road safety: young and novice drivers inquiry

Status: Closed Opened: 10 Jul 2019 Closed: 5 Nov 2019

Inquiry scope

Young drivers aged 17-24 account for seven percent of the UK’s driving licence holders but are involved in 20% of fatal and serious collisions. Concerned about these high collision and casualty rates, the Transport Select Committee is launching an inquiry to scrutinise what action the Government is taking to reduce the risks of young and novice drivers being involved in a road traffic collision.
