As driving instructors we find it frustrating that we have taught many young drivers to drive safely and within the speed limits. However, in our jobs we regularly meet people wanting lessons who have previously passed the driving test and lost their licence with six points in 2 years under the Young Drivers Act(no-one we've taught so far!) They have worked extremely hard to pass their test but have to do it all again.

The last thing we say to pupils after they have passed their test is to drive safely, take care and not do anything silly leading to loss of licence or worse. We remind them how important the licence is to them and how hard it was to achieve. We also encourage completion of the Pass Plus course to further enhance their driving skills offering a discount to our pupils when they pass.

We are also annoyed to see in the media that young drivers are most at risk from accidents than anyone else on the road. In our experience it is this age group that find driving easier to learn, more natural and easier to be successful in the test. However it is external social pressures that change driving habits.

To try to help with this we have provided links below to road safety sites and charities for you to browse.
