Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent representations he has received on raising the driving age to 18.
In 2017, the Department commissioned a major research study which will consider the effectiveness of several measures, including telematics, in improving young drivers’ safety. The Department will make decisions about any potential steps to promote black box technology in light of that research.
The Department has not received any recent representations on raising the driving age to 18.
