MPs back Buckinghamshire paper's roads campaign

The Bucks Herald's campaign for changes to driving laws has taken a major step forward with MPs on the transport select committee calling for new safety measures aimed at reducing the number of road deaths. In December last year the paper called for such a review. Now MPs are arguing that the driving age should be raised from 17 to 18, the drinking of alcohol should be further restricted and newly-qualified drivers should be prohibited from carrying any passengers aged 10 to 20 between 11pm and 5am.
