Once you have passed your driving test, you are safe to drive on roads on your own. However, you must remember that you are not an expert driver.
According to statistics, new drivers are 10 times more likely to be involved in an accident, and unfortunately two people under 25 die in accidents everyday in UK.
Approximately 20% of newly qualified drivers are involved in an accident in their first year of driving. This is the reason insurance premiums are so high for newly qualified drivers.
