UK's graduated licensing scheme
The UK's graduated licensing scheme introduces a phased approach to driver licensing to enhance road safety. Learner drivers initially acquire a provisional license, allowing them to drive under supervision with certain restrictions. After passing practical and theory tests, they progress to a full license. Additionally, drivers must complete a post-license training period, often with restrictions like display of 'P' plates and limits on passenger numbers, to gain full experience and confidence. This structured process aims to reduce inexperienced driver accidents by gradually building skills and confidence in real-world conditions.
