Stephen Phillips ex MP said in 2014 in @HouseofCommons
“Neither this Government nor their predecessors have taken the action necessary to ensure the safety of young drivers on our roads, as well as that of those who travel with them and other road users. Why? ... part 2 next ..
... of not doing so, and what that will mean for death and serious injury to young drivers in the future..”
Just imagine how much carnage could have been avoided if the Green paper had not been cancelled!
#StopRoadDeath#GDL#TalkAboutRoadDeath
I do not know. I … have been extremely concerned that the DfT has delayed its Green Paper on young driver safety, apparently indefinitely. Let me make it clear … not only is that not good enough … and, frankly, either reverse it or face the consequences ..." final part next

“We thought very hard about what the proportionate thing to do was, in order to be able to, you know, maintain people’s freedom and also act on road safety”
But decided not to “penalise” young people.

@BBCNews I have deleted the pic as we should focus victims #StopRoadDeath
This is a particularly extreme and disgusting example of road danger and crime.
We should focus on the victim, his partner and family. Life changed in an instant and will never be the same again. For now, our thoughts should be firmly with them. #StopRoadDeath
