The UK has presented a new package of rules designed to improve safety for inexperienced drivers. The aim is to cut crashes during the most critical stage, when limited experience and risky behaviour have the greatest impact.
The measures concern the first years after passing the driving test and strengthen restrictions already applying to novice motorists in Britain. The approach differs from Italy’s, where limits mainly concern vehicle power, speed and alcohol.
