Young drivers could cut out speed dating' and reduce no win, no fee claims

ITV documentary Police, Camera, Action reveals the very real reasons why so many British motorists make no win, no fee claims.

The show looked at the new phenomenon called speed dating', which unlike the harmless act of moving from table to table in order to get to know potential love interests, involves driving at speed to impress a date. ITV showed a number of young drivers who were breaking speed limits in pedestrian areas and even driving down motorways in the wrong direction in order to make an impact on a member of the opposite gender.

Most of the young drivers taking part in these dangerous driving acts were male and research shows that this aggressive style of driving is the result of male testosterone, although some females were also taking risks.

What many of these drivers don't realised is that while they are having fun and letting their inhibitions go they are putting the lives of other motorists and pedestrians at serious risk as they increase their chances of having a car crash.

Police were interviewed and said while they could have issued penalty points, fines and jail sentences they would rather educate young drivers. There have even been calls for the legal driving age to be raised to 18-years-old and for the year preceding the proposed legal driving age to be used as a time to practice driving skills and get educated about road safety.

The work of the Arrive Alive campaign, the Driving Standards Agency's winning road safety programme, was also highlighted. Teenagers were shown video footage of serious car crashes involving young people and even witnessed a reconstruction of a young couple's experience of sustaining serious personal injuries in a road accident.

Police, Camera, Action definitely brought home the point that accidents and no win, no fee claims can be avoided if young drivers adopt a more responsible attitude when on the roads. YouClaim spokesperson, Alex Boxall agrees that education is the way to go, "Young drivers should be made aware about the perils of reckless driving so that they don't participate in risk-taking behaviour and put themselves and others in danger of being involved in car accidents. We see far too many people having to make no win, no fee claims because they have been harmed through someone else's act of carelessness."
