New Driver Wait Time Proposed | Sheffield News
Description
Learner drivers could face a mandatory 3-6 month wait before hitting the road — part of a bold new Road Safety Strategy designed to slash crashes and fatalities. Despite making up just 6% of all drivers, teens and young adults aged 17-24 are behind 24% of deadly and serious accidents. The plan aims to give new drivers more time to build confidence, master tricky conditions like rain or night driving, and develop safer habits — with potential hour-based training or syllabus requirements. Evidence from other nations backs this approach: more time behind the wheel equals safer streets for everyone.
