20% of New Drivers crash in the First 6 months

Bad driving now kills more Young People than Drugs or Guns

So you finally passed your driving test ... only to crash on the way home from your first drive on your own, or

after a night out with your mates.  If it's any consolation, you're not alone.  A staggering one in five of new

drivers are involved in an accident within 6 months of getting their licence!  Young drivers are involved in

15% of serious accidents, yet they make up only 4% of the drivers on the  road.  Nor are these harmless

'teething problems' or minor accidents.  There are many of these that aren't even recorded. 

The accidents we're talking about can result in death or serious injury. 

If you live you might never walk again.  What sort of life will you have then?  

According to research, unsafe driving now kills more young people than drugs or knife crime. 

And more girlfriends are killed by their partners’ driving than by their own driving...

Young male drivers are always especially vulnerable - in spite of the fact many of them drive as if

they are invincible (with the official figures suggesting young men are 10 times more likely to be

killed or seriously injured on the road than their older, more experienced fellow drivers).

Studies show that problems arise after the test for various reasons, many linked to attitude, and

some to experience.  The Pass Plus helps to identify these problems before they become deadly.
