“The Transport Secretary (Heidi Alexander MP) and I are determined to make our roads safer for everyone who uses them. The lack of progress on road safety over the past decade has been inexcusable. There has been no direction and no long-term vision, and that is reflected in the


"In the UK you can do a course in one week and then take your test?" - Dan Whitehead 🚘 "Wow" 👀 Canadians react to UK driving test rules. In Canada, Graduated Driving Licences have been in place since the 90s, with new drivers having restrictions put on them for up to two years

Sarah-Jane Mee "What about the 68 young siblings who have lost a brother or a sister?" dr ian greenwood and Caitlin's Campaign share their thoughts on the govt statement rejecting GDLs - while Will Cubbin highlights a potential 20-40% reduction More ➡️ trib.al/U9GwEU1 📺 Sky 501

Well done to Will and SaferEssexRoads for being part of such an important moment in the campaign for #GraduatedDrivingLicensing in the UK

Sky News went deeper than any UK outlet - travelling to 🇨🇦 to ask why the UK still refuses to adopt GDL. “Insanity.” “Irresponsible.” “Disingenuous.” Their words, not ours.

Marcus was killed by an unlicensed, uninsured banned driver. Sadly when the punishment does not reflect the severity of the act, it fails to act as a deterrent. Yet he was bailed to do it AGAIN Shabana Mahmood MP Rebecca Morris Daniel Sandford Dan Whitehead Sentencing Council

A right of passage? That can be a dangerous perception, milestone some may think they are ‘entitled’ to? It is a PRIVILEGE which carries serious responsibility, maturity, not fast track to get on the road #GDL Heidi Alexander MP Rebecca Morris dr ian greenwood Caitlin's Campaign

Heidi Alexander MP Solving the waiting list should be welcomed. If young people want to be safe drivers, they shouldn’t have to endure excessive waits … 👍🏻 But, of course many choose not to drive / cannot afford to drive. But I have two issues: the language you use Heidi Alexander MP is problematic
