The mother of one of four teenagers who drowned after a crash is calling for tighter rules for new drivers.

If introduced, the changes would include safety measures such as a minimum number of driving lessons covering 40 hours and all road conditions, not carrying passengers up to the age of 25 and restrictions on night driving.

@SantaThere's a long way from "a mother calling" to an actual change in the law. It just won't happen.

@Beelzebub I am well aware of that, but it may spark a debate on whether young drivers need more restrictions. The tragedy her son was involved in is pretty rare, so no basis for legislation.

I have no problem with people calling for legislation, but who is going to monitor it? We are already running with a lack of Police.

A lot of this has been examined in previous consultations, and never implemented.
