What the petition asks
As part of Teresa May’s new driving regulations, restrictions are imposed on when young drivers are able to drive and engine displacement has also become a factor.
It appears that the majority of accidents in young drivers tend to be in the 1.2L cars, typically Corsa’s and 1L Fiestas.

The young drivers that have cars that exceed a 1.2 displacement tend to look after and care more about their vehicles as typically they have spent more money on insuring and caring for the vehicles.
I believe that the reason that young people have accidents is more often down to intoxication of drugs and/or alcohol and using mobile devices, responsible other people should not have to suffer with their work lives because of a minority
