The AA has said that the plan of driving laws in Great Britain has not included strong driving license rules for new and young motorists in the planned overhaul of the government.
Many proposed changes in driving laws were set on Monday Possible driving restrictions for more than 70s that fail in compulsory eye tests.
Calls have been made for the introduction of graduated licenses, which will hold boundaries on new drivers, such as not taking the passengers of colleague-aeru for the initial period after passing their practical tests.
But Justice Minister Alex Davis-Jones told the BBC that there was no plan to introduce such measures on the “wrong-discrimination” concerns against young parents or carers.
AA welcomed the government’s plans mainly, but said “the missing element is a measure to save the life of the new driver and passenger by limiting the safety guard and the passengers of the age of six months”.
Latest government figures At least one young driver is involved in showing a quarter of a quarter of road collisions.
They also suggest that male drivers between the ages of 17 and 24 are more likely to be killed or seriously injured than any other age group other than people aged 86 or older.
Road Safety Charity Break said it was more likely to take risks on road or accident due to young drivers when they have passengers of their age, something that is not that much for older drivers.
On Monday, the government announced A radical shake-up of driving laws in Great BritainChanges are expected to be included in a new road safety strategy to be published in the autumn.
Proposals include measures to ban more than 70 motorists from driving if they fail in mandatory eye tests – a trick that comes after questioning about four deaths due to drivers with failed eye lights, a coroner called the UK licensing system “most useless”.
Other schemes will include reducing the beverage driving limit in England and Wales to suit the laws of Scotland in England and Wales, and people would have to give marks on their license for not wearing seatbelt, which Davis-Jones quoted as part of the government’s plans for the safety of young motorists.
Asked why the graduate license was not included, he told the BBC Breakfast: “We think it can potentially target young drivers and discriminate against them incorrectly, especially for those who are young parents, young careists who are working, for example.
“This is not currently something that is being seen. But we will keep everything under review.”
Campares have earlier called for equal restrictionsArguing that new drivers should not be allowed to carry passengers under the age of 25, or until they are 20 years old, until they are with an older.
RAC has also pushed for such limits under the Graduate License Scheme. Other measures suggested include:
- The minimum six -month learning period for learning drivers is eligible for a practical testing
- Introduction to driving curfew during fixed time, most probably chances at night
- Driving or legal liquor border reduction
Its chief, Simon Williams said: “We are keen to find out what are the measures [the government] The greatest difference will be believed, especially many young drivers are involved in a conflict in their first year of driving. ,
A spokesman for the Transport Department (DFT) said: “As long as we are not considering the graduate driving license, we fully recognize that young people are victims of tragic events on our streets and continue to deal with this through our think!
“We are considering other measures to solve this problem and protect young drivers, as part of our upcoming strategy for road safety – in more than a decade.”
