All the evidence is clear the first thousand miles is critical for young drivers & their passengers.

Thanks to Jeremy Vine for covering young driver risk. My main point was on the numbers, and which group gets focused on. There were 4,935 people killed or seriously injured in young driver crashes in 2022. Politicians and the media seem to focus on young drivers breaking the

It is four years since we met you and Sharron, before that we journeyed alone, sole voices in a wilderness.

Been a busy week in the media talking ⁦The AA⁩ Motoring Manifesto covering young drivers, potholes, smart motorways, EVs and much more. ⁦markettiers⁩

Edmund King OBE The Times and The Sunday Times The AA When our daughter first passed her test we told her that her insurance didn't cover her carrying passengers in her car unless I or my wife was with her.

It gave her the perfect excuse to not have a car full of noisy seventeen-year-olds, inevitably distracting her.

Edmund King OBE The Times and The Sunday Times The AA You have my complete support. My nephew sustained life changing injuries 15 years ago as passenger in a car driven by a friend who’d passed their test just a few days before.

The driver sadly passed away - a tragedy for several families.

I wrote 6 letters to senior MPs / party leaders about road safety, and young drivers specifically. Number 2 reply has arrived. Thank you Caroline Lucas for what can only be described as a beautiful response. Compassionate, honest, realistic, but also practical and with some

I know one family who has been talking to different MPs about #GDL since 1986 - I have for 15 years - and there is still no action. 4,935 people were killed or seriously injured in crashes involving a young driver in 2022.
Enough is enough! Time for action!

Driver 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Guy Opperman Bill Esterson Holly Lynch MP Fabian Hamilton West Yorkshire’s Deputy Mayor for Policing & Crime Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire Kim Leadbeater MBE MP BBC Breakfast BBC News (UK) Guardian news Please let me know how I have been selective, or bleated on about speed limits?
This is Department for Transport data which shows speed as a contributing factor, and there is a well evidence connection between speed and injury severity - that’s not selective!

MTimC Road Safety GB Mark Harper Louise Haigh I am not arguing that the number of deaths and serious injuries in young driver crashes isn’t falling, over time, it is!
I am arguing that a tried and tested policy - #GDL - can reduce the latest numbers (4,935 in 2022) further.

I believe that 4,935 dead or seriously injured

dr ian greenwood BBC Breakfast Guy Opperman Louise Haigh MP’s are never interested unless it garners votes. All activists need to come together and keep pushing for change. We can and will effect change but it takes co-ordinated effort. We must prevail. KSI figures are unacceptable. Any death is one to many.

Road Safety GB Thank you Road Safety GB for publishing.

A lesson I have learned is that private meetings with Ministers / (some) MPs rarely end up with action: I have had far too many. Take the mainstream media with you, and it increases your chances! Well done Crystal Owen Nicole Taylor Caitlin's Campaign Rebecca Morris Lucy Straker - she/they 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

People killed or seriously injured in young driver crashes is disproportionate high. In 2022 = 4,935. Most MPs have not been interested other than sympathy. Well done to Crystal to taking ⁦BBC Breakfast⁩ ⁦to ⁦Guy Opperman⁩ ⁦Louise Haigh⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…

dr ian greenwood Nicole Taylor Caitlin's Campaign Rebecca Morris Lucy Straker - she/they 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Totally agree, it means they have nowhere to hide! We will do all we can to keep the media spotlight on this campaign so action is taken #EnoughIsEnough
