Re: Driving Test Age Could Rise To 18
Some interesting stats here.
Quote:
- Young motorists twice as likely than average to have a crash
- Average cost of an accident involving a young motorist twice as high as for other motorists
- Accident involving a young driver five times as likely to involve an injury
- Young motorists four times as likely to have a conviction for careless driving than the average motorist

Some more in-depth findings by the ABI, but with different recommendations.

Based on extensive analysis, the ABI recommends the following measures:
• A minimum 12 month learning period before the driving test can be taken, enabling drivers to undertake supervised practice without an incentive to rush to take the practical test.
• A ban on intensive driving courses.
• The lowering of the age at which young people can learn to drive to 16½ years.
• The introduction of graduated driver licensing to include a restriction on the number of young passengers that can be carried by a young driver and a restriction on their driving during night-time hours.
• A lowering of the blood alcohol concentration for drivers aged between 17–24.
