Driving Licences: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on the potential merits of introducing a Graduate Driving License scheme in Wales.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Graduated Driving Licences and how these are implemented around the world vary, there is not one standard type.
Whilst we are not considering further restrictions on newly qualified drivers such as carrying passengers or driving at night, we are consulting on a Minimum Learning Period in England, Scotland, and Wales before learner drivers can take their test.
Additionally, we are considering further post-test measures as part of the motoring offences consultation, where views are being sought on a lower blood alcohol limit for novice drivers in England and Wales.
My officials meet regularly with their counterparts in the Devolved Authorities, including those in Wales.
