The UK is introducing new rules for drivers who have just passed their test, with the aim of reducing road accidents. The package is designed to make the first months behind the wheel stricter, when the risk is highest.
Possible measures include tighter limits, more checks and a more complete training path before full independence is granted. For Italian motorists, it is a familiar issue: the first stage is also the most delicate here, especially because of inexperience and distraction.
