The UK government is under fire for not implementing stricter licensing laws for new drivers, a move that could save lives, according to critics including countries with Graduated Driving Licences (GDLs), major UK motoring organizations, and grieving families. Sky News examined GDLs in Canada, where they have led to an 83% decrease in deaths among 16 to 19-year-old drivers. Despite evidence, the UK government claims GDLs would unfairly penalize young drivers. Critics argue that such laws are not only preventive but also a standard to be met for public safety.
