Press Release Summary: According to a report by the MPs, in order to increase road
safety, reduce accidents and bring down car insurance claims, the government must
increase the legal driving age

Press Release Body: London, 5 September 07 (thinkinsurances): Road safety is one of
the growing concerns in UK. Considerable thought is being given to improve the
driving conditions as well as the safety of the drivers and the commuters on the
road. Road safety and car insurance are connected inversely, i.e. the higher the
safety conditions, the lesser the motor accidents and the fewer the car insurance
claims. Recently a report compiled by the MPs has highlighted ways in which road
safety can be improved and car insurance claims brought down considerably.

The most important highlight of the report is that the government should raise the
legal driving age to 18 years. Also, learners must be trained strictly according to
a set syllabus by their driving instructor. It must also be made necessary for all
learners to sit for an additional hazard perception training. These steps would
greatly prevent accidents caused by new motorists, and in turn reduce car insurance
claims as well. Use of dual control vehicles while training and extensions of the
training period, if necessary, are other points that have been mentioned in the
report.

This report has been rendered tremendous support by a majority of groups,
prominently by the Road Safety Group.
