Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to Answer of 25 February 2025 to Question 31102 on Driving Licences: Young People, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle the root causes of the proportion of incidents involving young victims.

My department is developing our Road Safety Strategy and will set out more details in due course.

THINK!, the Government’s flagship road safety campaign, aims to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on the roads in England and Wales by changing attitudes and behaviours among those at most risk. The primary audience for THINK! is young men aged 17-24, who are four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured on the road than drivers aged 25 and over. The campaign targets priority issues such as drink driving and speeding, as well as communicating key policy interventions.
