One in five drivers crash within a year of passing their test, according to road safety charity Brake
New drivers under 25 could be banned from giving lifts to friends under plans being considered by the government.
It is being considered as part of a "graduated driving licence" in a bid to cut down on the number of car crashes. By amending the Road Traffic Act, ministers could effectively impose a ban on new motorists from carrying passengers under the age of 25 in the first year or six months after passing the test.
The young woman and her friend Skye Mitchell, 18, both died when the car crashed into a van on the A595 in Bootle, Cumbria, in 2017. Her son Aidan, who was 23 at the time of the tragedy, was Skye's boyfriend. The mum said: "He lost his sister and his girlfriend that evening."
