British motor insurance providers who want to see more restrictions on the rights of young drivers are preparing a package of recommendations for the Government.
If enforced, the restrictions will affect the hours during which you can drive and the number and age of passengers you can carry.
The Association of British Insurers, responsible among other things for industry-wide regulation of young driver car insurance, is using new Californian laws as a model.
The American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported a positive affect on motoring across the board since these laws have been adopted, including a 23% drop in crashes involving 16-year-old drivers.
Since January, new Californian drivers aged under 18 have been subject to a curfew from 11pm to 5am, and are not allowed to carry teenage passengers until they have a years' experience.
Statistics show similar laws in the UK would have a significant impact on the number of accidents taking place on our roads, but at a severe cost to the freedom of new motorists.
It all stands to save the young driver car insurance companies a lot of money.
Director-general of the ABI, Stephen Haddrill, alleged insurers were worried by the increasing number of serious injuries and deaths among young drivers.
"Government and other organisations must reduce this trend, which represents a tragedy for too many families," he said. "This is why insurers are developing a coalition for action."
It sounds like young drivers can expect to spend a lot more time at home in the future - but whether that will translate into cheap car insurance premiums remains to be seen.
