A package of new rules aimed at newly qualified drivers has been introduced in the United Kingdom. The stated goal is to improve road safety and reduce crashes during the most delicate stage of a motorist’s early experience.
The measures place greater focus on the behaviour of recently licensed drivers. The British system remains different from Italy’s, where specific limits on vehicle power and speed already apply during the first years.
