Motion text

That this House notes with concern that car drivers in the 16 to 19 age bracket have the highest death rate in car accidents of any age group in Great Britain, equivalent to a rate of 4.9 per 100,000 population, according to the Department for Transport Statistics on Road Casualties 2006; further notes that this rate is more than double the driver death rate of all other age groups covered except age 20 to 29, which is 4.4 per 100,000, and age 80 and over, which is 2.9 per 100,000; further notes that, of 14,617 vehicle drivers killed or seriously injured in Great Britain in 2005, 3,268 were in the 17 to 21 age group, equivalent to nearly 25 per cent; also notes that the car accident casualties of passengers aged 16 to 19 years in 2005 was 4.6 per 100,000 population killed, 39 per 100,000 killed or seriously injured and 347 per 100,000 injured, a rate more than double the next highest age group, that of those aged 20 to 29 years; remains concerned that Government-funded, practical, face-to-face support to help families through such an extremely traumatic and sudden bereavement is currently unavailable; and calls upon Ministers to review the current accident death rates among young drivers and passengers and to bring forward new proposals to improve transport safety in the most vulnerable age group of young drivers.
