Description

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, Simon Foster, advocates for stricter driving regulations to safeguard new drivers and reduce road fatalities. He proposes progressive driving licenses with temporary restrictions for young motorists post-test, including curfews, alcohol limits, passenger caps, mandatory learning periods, and in-car safety tech. Currently, young drivers aged 17-24 account for 25% of road deaths and 20% of road casualties. Foster, citing successful implementations in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the US, urges the government to incorporate these changes into their road safety strategy promptly.
