Restricted Licence for the 1st 2 years like the Motorcycle test, so they can only drive certain types of cars low cc, it will give them a chance to build motoring skills whilst still learning to drive in all conditions, also the smaller cars would mean a lower insurance premiums if it was made compluasry that all new driver (regardless of age) have these insurance boxes fitted.

Can see the cries of complaint from parents when their little angels are constantly being pulled over, whether or not they are complying with or breaching the rules.
