Minister Considers Lowering Learner Drivers Age Limit |
|
The Environment Minister has announced he is considering lowering the current age limit of 17 for learner drivers.
Alex Attwood also said learner drivers could be allowed to drive at 70mph on motorways under radical changes to testing.
The SDLP Minister said: "I believe we have an opportunity to have the most radical re-configuration of driving testing in a way that can potentially work its way through to reducing insurance costs for everybody, but particularly new drivers, and improve road safety and improve driver capacity."
