The AA, a prominent motoring organization in the UK, has proposed a ban on new drivers under the age of 21 from carrying passengers of similar age for six months after obtaining their license. This recommendation is part of a push to implement graduated driving licenses (GDLs), which are already in use in countries like the US, Canada, and Australia. According to the AA, such a measure could save at least 58 lives annually and prevent 934 serious injuries. This proposal comes in the wake of tragic incidents involving young drivers, such as a recent crash in north Wales that claimed the lives of four teenagers when their car veered off the road. The AA's chief executive, Jakob Pfaudler, highlighted the dual impact of these accidents: tragic loss of life and increased insurance premiums for young drivers. While the UK's Department for Transport had considered introducing GDLs in 2019, these discussions were halted due to potential employment impacts for young people. Nevertheless, the rising fatalities among young drivers have reignited calls for change. In particular, a campaign group led by Crystal Owen, the mother of one of the crash victims, has been advocating for the implementation of GDLs and has launched a petition to gather public support. Although the Department for Transport is not currently exploring GDLs, it acknowledges the disproportionate risk young drivers face and is working on a new road safety strategy.
