The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) have released quite frankly alarming figures showing that 50,000 new drivers have had their licence revoked in the past four years.
What is also concerning is that seven in ten are under the age of 25.
Figures also show that of the 48,983 who lost their licence by way of the ‘totting-up’ process since 2009 – whereby newly qualified drivers who tot up six points or more within two years of passing their test face an automatic ban – 33,910 were under the age of 25, with Men account for nearly eight out of ten of these bans.
Not pleasant reading I am sure you will agree…
These findings come at a time when Government ministers prepare to radically reform young driver training in a bid to slash road deaths and serious injuries.
