Young drivers
Driving solo once you've passed your test is an exciting time full of independence and opportunity – but it also brings with it risks.
Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death for children and young people worldwide and young drivers are over-represented in serious and fatal collisions in Great Britain.
Below we've highlighted some of the risks young drivers face on the road and some practical steps to help reduce those dangers.
You haven't yet had the chance to build up the knowhow that a more experienced driver will have, you may not be used to driving in some of the road and weather conditions you will now encounter, and driving with your peers in the car can be a dangerous distraction.
But rather than scare you away from taking to the road and developing your driving, we just want to share some practical things you can do to help you reduce these risks while you adapt to driving without an instructor by your side.
