We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to introduce a Graduated Driving Licence to include a two year probationary period after passing the practical test. More details
Submitted by Vicki Stone MBE of Learn and Live – Deadline to sign up by: 23 February 2008 – Signatures: 94
More details from petition creator
During this probationary period newly qualified drivers must display P plates and must not carry more than one young passenger unless there is an adult over the age of 25 present (excluding parents carrying their own children). Drivers would not receive a full licence until they had safely completed this period which could be extended following traffic offences. This type of licence is the only measure shown internationally to have cut the rates of death and injury in this group.
