Young Drivers
You are three times more likely to be involved in a serious crash in your first year of driving. People aged 17-25 represent only 10% of the UK's licence holders, but are involved in over 20% of all road traffic accidents. Every year over 1,000 17- 25 year olds are killed as a result of a road traffic crash. |

Why do young people crash more regularly than more experienced drivers?
There are three main reasons:
- A lower level of technical experience
- A less developed road sense
- An attitude that results in risk taking
These deaths are avoidable and West Sussex County Council, in conjunction with Minerva Accord Limited, has developed a one-day driving course to give young people the practical skills they need to become better drivers.
The course, evaluated by Southampton University, aims to bridge the skills gap identified in young drivers and bring about a change in attitude.
