In order to reduce accidents on British roads, the government is considering banning newly qualified drivers – most are in their teens – from driving their car at night until they have built up their experience.  

Data reported by the Guardian suggests that 20% of UK motorists have a road accident within the first year of passing their test and getting their license. 

Now new measures are being considered by the government include imposing a minimum period for learning to drive, banning passengers under a certain age from traveling with young drivers and a ban on night driving though officials have yet to reveal how long such restrictions might last.
