Cyclists particularly at risk from young night-time drivers.

"Newly qualified young drivers should be banned from night-time
motoring and carrying passengers of a similar age, Cardiff University
researchers say.

They said such "graduated driver licensing" for those aged 17-24 could
save more than 200 lives and result in 1,700 fewer serious injuries
each year..."

You are trying to claim cyclists are not at risk from dangerous
drivers? Please explain.

No explanation needed, cyclists not mentioned in article, you brought
it up to help with your anti-car rave.

Where does it say that cyclists are particularly at risk in this case?
Ah, you made it up again.

Anyway, another completely daft idea from a bunch of head-in-the-
clouds academics, with no links to reality. How do you spot an
underage driver at night without massive police effort? And why should
you deny people in their early 20s from driving at night. In the
winter, this would mean not even being able to drive to and from work.
Bet they didn't consider the economic consequences.

In any case, I learned to drive over the winter, what will turning 17
in the autumn, I did much of my learning in the dark. I feel that made
me completely comfortable driving at night, with no apprehensions at
all. Bloomin' nuts idea.

Funny isn't it, how we have preconceived ideas about what "solutions" to
problems should be.

Perhaps it would, but I wonder how many lives would be saved if the
underlying cause of the problem, rather than a symptom of the "solution"
(the setting of 17 as the minimum age for drivers) to an earlier
problem, was tackled.

In Sweden, a country with a better casualty record than the UK, they
found that by reducing the age at which youngsters could start learning
to drive to 16 years, they reduced the accident rate by 40%.

We know youngsters learn more quickly. We know that the late teens can
bring "behavioural problems". Why not work with the laws of human
nature rather than trying to defy them?

Isn't it time that driving was considered an essential life skill and
added as the fourth "R" (roadmanship?) to the national curriculum?
Surely kids should be taught to drive at school - from about the age of
11 or 12.
