There is a long account of what happened to Matthew here . He was 22 when he died but so many boys drive like this as soon as they get their licences at 17.

If you know a new driver, please print the poster off and give it to him.

I really and truly believe that young people shouldn't be allowed to drive until they are in their late 20's. They should have subsidised public transport instead, ffs so many sensless deaths because of uncontrollable bloody testosterone

I thought that the AA were doing someting about this. I thought they wanted to raise driving age to 25 AND stop lots of people getting into cars with new drivers.

This last issue is a recent problem as insurance is now so expensive, that less people drive, and so cram in more passengers. It was referring to young drivers here (well young male drivers TBH), and how more people are being killed because cars are full. Often see something like an old Nova, packed to the gunnels with under 25's and think about this all the time.

I think the AA wanted this, but no one acted on it of course.........
