PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
DRIVING TESTS AND SAFETY (15 March 1995)
Motion Details
That this House notes with dismay the continued loss of around 1,000 young lives in road accidents each year, especially of drivers aged between 17 and 21 years; endorses wholeheartedly the decision of the Secretary of State for Transport in February 1994 to introduce in July 1996 separate theory testing which was 'expected to make a significant contribution to reducing the accident rate among newly qualified drivers'; and calls upon the Secretary of State to reaffirm the Government's commitment to necessary reforms to the driving test on safety grounds.
