Over 1000 young lives are lost each year on UK roads.
Among young people road crashes are by far the most common cause of accidental death. A 17-year-old male driver is seven times more likely be involved in a road collision than any other group.
New drivers are most likely to have a crash within the first two years after passing the driving test. Novice drivers form just seven per cent of the driving population but have 12 per cent of injury collisions.
