Online car insurance bosses support curfew for "high risk" drivers

Online car insurance and breakdown cover group the AA is the latest body to call for a midnight to 5am curfew for teenage drivers and a limit to the number of passengers they can carry.

17-, 18- and 19-year-old drivers belong in what the online car insurance firm has labelled a "high risk" bracket, and it's hoped the introduction of these measures could slow the rate of accidents and deaths among them.

The increasingly prohibitive costs of university, going out, housing and motoring expenses like driving tuition and young driver car insurance means fewer people in this age range are persevering with lessons and passing their tests - but those who do are at a higher risk on UK roads than ever before.

"There will be a huge public outcry if the government heeds these calls to limit young drivers rights," said Mike Page, spokesman for the online car insurance experts at Hoot.

"It's clear, however, that something urgently needs to be done about this worryingly "high risk" group."
