I remember this day 25 years ago hearing the tragic news of Princess Diana's death. 💔 Little did I know that in July 2017 my own daughter would be killed as a passenger in a car crash. 💔

'It would have saved her life'
Sharron Huddleston, whose daughter Caitlin died in a car crash, says parents need to be aware young people are more at risk on roads than from drugs or violent crime - and restrictions should be placed on new drivers
Great day yesterday walking with members of Cumbria's Roads Police. We walked 21!!! Miles starting from Pooley Bridge in Cumbria, up Wainwrights High Street, the highest road in Cumbria, an old Roman Road, then on to Windermere. 🥵

Amazingly the driver and five other passengers in this four seater car were not seriously injured in this incident in Wyre today. The driver having only had their licence two days. Driver reported for offences.

My precious 18 year old daughter Caitlin. She accepted a lift from a young newly qualified driver and was killed 15 minutes into that journey in 2017. So much I need to say to her. I miss her every single minute of every day.

@Mark_J_Harper
Will the bereaved families hear any words from you today? Will you commit to help reduce the main cause of death in 17-24 year olds being RTCs, by introducing safety precautions for young novice drivers and their passengers?

Look how many lives this 'safety precaution' has saved on our roads, as has the seat belt. As proven safety precautions,(phased licensing), being implemented for our young drivers and young passengers will. We need a strong Roads Minister like Barbara Castle!

I would also like to see drivers who kill their passengers by careless/dangerous driving receive tougher sentences too. Their passengers lives are literally in their hands.

My 28 year old son did just this 2 nights ago. Followed a driver driving erratically. Car finally pulled over. Driver drunk. My son took keys out of their car and rang Police. Im so proud of him. He may have stopped someone from being killed or injured.

I too tragically lost a teenage child in the same circumstances, as a passenger in a young novice drivers car and I have campaigned ever since for safety precautions/GDL to be implemented in the UK.
The Government need to act now!

Graduated Driving Licences

would help to prevent many young teenage lives being tragically lost in RTCs.
@LouHaigh
Are you going to help save young lives on our roads by introducing a British Graduated Driving License scheme? The main cause of death in 17-24 year olds is RTCs My daughter Caitlin would be alive today if the UK had GDL
