PROBLEMS OF JUVENILE DRIVERS - PROBATIONARY DRIVING LICENCES?

PROBLEME JUGENDLICHER KRAFTFAHRER - FUEHRERSCHEIN AUF PROBE?

THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF ACCIDENTS AMONG THE GROUP OF "RECENTLY QUALIFIED DRIVERS" MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE RELATIVELY HIGH PROPORTION OF YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 25 YEARS. THE ACCIDENT RATE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IS ESPECIALLY HIGH DURING THE FIRST YEAR AFTER RECEIVING THEIR DRIVING LICENCE. THE PLEASURES OF DRIVING, THE STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION AND DIFFICULTIES IN EDUCATION AND TESTING WITH RELATION TO TRAFFIC HAZARDS MAY BE CITED AS REASONS. AS A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IT IS PROPOSED TO GRANT DRIVING LICENCES FOR A LIMITED PERIOD, TO MAKE THE CARRYING OF LEARNER DRIVER-(L) PLATES OBLIGATORY, AND TO INTRODUCE MAXIMUM SPEED LIMITS FOR THESE DRIVERS. DIFFERENT COLOURS SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED FOR THE L-PLATES OF JUVENILE AND OTHER RECENTLY QUALIFIED DRIVERS.
