đźš— Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) launches tomorrow. đźš™
🤔 Why is it needed? 👇🏽
Passing your driving test is an important milestone, but the first months and years behind the wheel are when drivers gain much of their real-world experience.
Young drivers are disproportionately represented in fatal and serious road traffic collisions. GDL has been introduced to support learner and newly qualified drivers during this higher-risk period, helping them build skills, experience and confidence safely.
By taking a phased approach to learning and driving, GDL aims to make our roads safer for everyone.
