Drivers are more likely to have a collision within the first year of passing their test.
17-20 year old drivers are about seven times more likely to be involved in a collision resulting in death or injury than drivers over 40.
New drivers make up 10% of licence holders. But are involved in 29% of accidents. Drivers under 21 are involved in 15% of collision deaths.
The instructor should at all times, to the best of his or her ability, endeavour to teach the pupil correct driving skills according to DSA's recommended syllabus.
