Both Dr Box and Dr Helman believe graduated driving licences could stop between 20% and 40% of crashes involving young drivers, who currently account for a fifth of all road deaths and serious injuries in the UK each year.
If someone is already breaking a law regarding driving, what's to stop them from breaking another?
This isn't a news article. It's literally propaganda to instill support for what they're planning. If you notice, you weren't the target audience. The sob story they lead with, the driver would have been out of any graduated license program already by his age, and later in the article they mention he's already aged out of the group they want to do this to.
The “another” law in question
Graduated driving licences could see a minimum supervised learning period, curfews and a limit to the number of passengers new drivers can carry.
Of course reckless drivers who were going to drive drunk won’t respect these either, but also these are laws that can dissuade parents from giving/lending their cars. Surprisingly a bunch of parents are oblivious to their kids drinking and driving patterns, but a blanket ruling like this might help.
