Newly qualified drivers could face restrictions in their night driving and the number of passengers allowed in their cars, under the proposals examined by the Ministers.

But students could also be allowed to drive on motorways and given classes during bad weather and in the dark to help them reduce risk, once they pass their tests.

The Government hopes to reduce the number of accidents involving drivers young and rising insurance costs. It is expected that a green paper proposed firm within two months.

Among other proposals, is considered a minimum of learning until the candidates are allowed to pass your test, increasing the trial period of two to three years for new drivers licenses to be revoked if they receive six or more penalty points, making driving more rigorous testing and incentives for young drivers to take additional training after passing your test.

The Secretary of transportation, Patrick McLoughlin, said: "It is alarming that one-fifth of people, dead or injured on our roads in 2011 were involved in a collision where at least one driver aged 17-24."Improve the safety of our young drivers is therefore a real priority and not only reduce the victims but also it should mean a reduction in insurance premiums the soaring pay.

"I have been clear that I want to see insurance premiums reflecting conditions, performance and risks along the way. "I already did all that a Government address concerns around safe engine but even more it should be until young drivers feel satisfied that obtained value for money."

The Association of British insurers (ABI) has asked for a period of minimum one year learning to young drivers, restrictions on the number of young passengers and restrictions on travel at night for young drivers during a period after passing the examination, but with exceptions for those driving to and from work.

It also says that a zero limit must be driving the blood alcohol during an initial period when a young man passes his driving test. The ABI suggests that measures could lead to a 15-20% drop in premiums for young drivers.
