New drivers could soon face tough new driving restrictions after passing their tests under new laws being considered by the Government.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced it will be investigating introducing graduated driving licenses (GDL) in the UK.

Under the proposals, new drivers will be limited to carrying one passenger aged 14 to 20 between 11pm and 6am and display a ‘P’ for two years after passing.
