  • Local MP makes emotional plea to Parliament on road safety for young people Local MP Anna Sabine has called for ‘serious consideration’ to be given to new measures for road safety and young drivers in an emotional plea to Parliament. Speaking in Westminster recently, the MP highlighted her ‘really serious concerns’ about road safety and the need for more preventative measures, such as graduated driving licences - licences that place restrictions on new drivers to help them gain experience in safer conditions. Referencing the dangers of roads around Frome and East Somerset, and the many incidents that have led to fatalities, she also spoke of the need to introduce minimum learning periods for new drivers and to reduce the number of passengers a young person can have in the car.
