Voiceover
*Beginning - VoxPop*
63% of females and 81% of males hold a full driving license in Great Britain. This year that number is set to rise as there are at least 150,000 people currently learning to drive.
Every driver knows the dread of being stuck behind a Learner car when you have somewhere to be and they are stalling at the lights or driving at frustratingly slow speeds. (Over Learner Montage)
Learning to drive can be a very nerve-wracking and very expensive process, so it is important that you choose the right driving instructor. (Leading into Chris Kelly Interview)
Learning to drive is a lot more than just knowing how to bring your clutch to the byte and driving safely. The theory test is difficult enough but these days its all about knowing the ins and outs of your vehicle. So whatever age you are, learning to drive is a complex process. (Montage of car parts) (Leading into 3-way interview)
Young drivers are often stereotyped as being reckless. But is it really fair to judge all young drivers just because of this stereotype they’re stuck with. Is it really always them that cause the problems on the roads? (Montage of cars)
