To be honest I’m sick of people blaming young drivers ,

It’s not only insulting to those “young drivers” that can actually drive rather than thinking there the best driver in the world, it’s also one of the most over looked stereo typical things to say . Now im not blaming those who have mentioned it in this post , but just the general tone about the younger generation.
Im 19 so im a “young driver” , but yet iv had both my cars to the track , keep it well maintained and know how to handle it , and how to drive it with in a safe limit without putting anyone else at excessive risk (I mean by that , these are cars , they are in general dangerous things), but driving out of your limits (usually the drivers limits are exceeded before the cars ability to perform are) is stupid. And have you seen the amount of young drivier that are in motorsport and are doing well? Dave Weston , he finished 14th in the ulser rally ,he has just turned 19. .
On the road , care has to be taken as you really can’t tell what the conditions are around a corner.
Statistics show that us “young drivers” do make up a good % of crash figgers , and il put my hands up , imo its down to lack of experience behind the wheel and 99% it is , speed is near the bottom for the cause of a collisions , look at Norway do any of you guys/girls know the test they do ! , 1. It’s cool 2. Its almost, if not at the same level of test/course as an advance driving course is to us over here! , and before you say anything , its working
“There has been a remarkable decrease in the number of fatalities in the 15-24 age group. There has also been a decrease in the >65 and 0-14 age groups. On the other hand, fatalities in the 25-64 age group increased up until 2000, before decreasing over the last few years.”

I think the tests need to be address, if it works in Norway, it will work in the UK , and maybe instead of the police/government just saying young drivers are bad , maybe do something about it!
