New campaign tackles young driver...

Drink is only one of a number of factors - lack of driving and living experiences - are both significant culprits that contribute to the carnage.

I can't agree more.
It is almost with relief that you read of new drivers involved in accidents and everyone walking away. That first bump is probably the only time the new driver found out how quick things happen when a car is out of control.
The first bump is the start of the real learning curve and makes the driver much more aware of potential risks - unfortunately it to often tragic.
With this in mind it is encouraging to learn that a driver training centre is to open here. As far as I am concerned this type of training should be mandatory prior to being given a driving licence.
