Gwynedd crash: Should young drivers be allowed passengers?

But there were mixed opinions among young people in Cardiff.

Marley, 16, said: “I think they should be allowed to have passengers. If you’ve passed your driving test you’ve passed it, so you should be allowed to have passengers.”

Emily Brompton, 19, said: “I felt confident because I’d been learning for so long but I was only doing short journeys anyway to and from school so I felt alright doing it, it was familiar to me.”

Pearl Keeble, 19, said: “I definitely think having that confidence on the road is good before you have other people in the car with you, but would say once you’ve passed your test and had that stability having an adult with you in the car that can definitely build confidence.”
