Tragic

[Ammi]

….very, very tragic and horrific for the parents right now …and probably a second death as well of the young man who is still being searched for …it could have so easily been 5 deaths though, so thankfully three survived and with not too serious injuries, it’s reading….

New, young drivers should be banned from carrying passengers of a similar age, the AA has said.

The restriction should be in place for six months after new drivers, aged under 21, pass their test, the motoring organisation said.

To aid enforcement, they propose a 'G' - graduate - plate should be displayed on the cars of young drivers.

These measures would be a form of graduated driving licensing (GDL) which is already used in several countries such as the US, Canada, Australia and Sweden.

This comes as a coroner raised concerns about newly qualified drivers carrying passengers following the deaths of four teenagers in North Wales last year.


At least 58 lives would be saved and 934 serious injuries prevented each year if the policy was implemented, the AA claimed.

AA chief executive Jakob Pfaudler said: "Not only is this a tragic waste of life, but it contributes to the burden of high insurance premiums for young drivers.

Why has this not become law yet, the mother of one of the lads drowned in Wales has been campaigning for it, it seems simply enough to bring in?

100%

Especially young men who love to show off

Unfortunately accidents like this can happen to anyone, regardless of age.

RIP to the ones that have passed away.

Raise the driving age to 21. Actually I'd vote to raise it to 25. Or at least ban them from ferrying their mates about.
