Young drivers could be banned from driving at night in the UK

Young drivers in England could be banned from driving at night under plans for a graduated licence system.

The idea comes after figures showing that a fifth of young drivers are involved in an accident during their first year behind the wheel.

As well as not driving at night, restrictions could include a minimum learning period and not driving with passengers under a certain age.

Currently a young driver can lose their licence if they get six penalty points within the first two years of driving but there are no restrictions on driving time or passengers.
