1. July, new traffic law comes into force

Lisbeth Gregersen works as a driving instructor, and she is strongly critical of the new law change.

She participated in the consultation prior to the change in the law and is concerned about what is waiting after July 1st.

« We risk losing our most precious, our children or our loved ones. These are losses that cannot be made up in dollars and pennies, and these are losses that no human can carry with them for the rest of my life. I mean to the highest degree that we have a duty to try to get the death toll down and not up, » the arguments from the driving instructor sounded.

Since 2017, 17-year-olds have been able to take a driver’s license-but only run with an experienced adult next door. According to the Council for Safe Traffic, that model has been a success.

The young person gets experience, but still with support and security. It is changing now, so they have to drive alone between 7 p.m. 5 and 20.

Young people take bigger chances

The statistics speak its clear language.

Young people between the ages of 17 and 24 are over -represented in traffic accidents.

Many people use the mobile while driving, and more people admit driving driving compared to older drivers.

So while many young people are happy with the decision, it sets the concerns of the concerns among those who teach the young.

Until July 1, when the new law change comes into force, the 17-year-old drivers still need a companion in the car.
