Call You and Yours: When are people REALLY ready to get behind the wheel?
After a recent car crash in which three teenagers died, including the driver who had not long passed his test, Andrea Catherwood asks when people are really ready to drive.
When are people really ready to get behind the wheel?
Four people died in a car crash in Wales at the weekend. Three of them - all aged 17 - were in the same car. The driver had not long passed his test.
Do the current driving tests really set you up for the open road?
Do they go far enough --- are you experienced enough --- to drive a car?
Statistics show around a fifth of all accidents involve young drivers - even though they only account for around 5 percent of all the miles driven.
Are you happy that you -- or your children -- were really ready to drive because you had a certificate?
