⚠️🚘NEW: Young people voice concerns about new driver rules in Northern Ireland ✅️Northern Ireland is set to become the first part of the UK to introduce extra restrictions for new drivers — in a bid to reduce road deaths involving young motorists. 🔴The Graduated Driver Licensing Scheme (GDL) has been described as the most significant reform to driver licensing and testing in almost 70 years. 🎥Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 spoke to @NIYouthAssembly Members Reuben and Emily. They were giving their views on GDL at the @NIAInfra Committee today. Both say the plans have the potential to save lives and make roads safer but want more detail on a number of issues. They are also calling for a consultation process with young people. Plans for GDL were announced by Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins. The proposals include: • A mandatory minimum learning period of six months before a learner can take their practical test • A structured training programme recorded in a logbook before the test can be taken • Extending the restricted period from 12 to 24 months, requiring new drivers to display R plates for two years • A six-month period of night-time driving restrictions for new drivers under 24 • Age-related passenger restrictions at night, with exemptions for immediate family members Under GDL, learner drivers will be allowed on motorways if accompanied by a driving instructor. Once they pass their test, drivers will be issued with R plates and can drive on motorways up to the speed limit.

Today, Youth Assembly Members gave evidence to the @NIAInfra on Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL). GDL will bring a step by step approach to learning to drive, giving new drivers more time to build experience.
