This report contains a range of views on GDL from various organisations which have a stake in safer roads and safer driving, or could be affected by GDL. The views were initially gathered during a fact-finding exercise carried out in March 2014 by the RAC Foundation, to better understand where GDL is supported and where it is not. The people quoted here are those who have agreed that their comments can be made public. There are several organisations which were very candid with the Foundation regarding their opinion of GDL but which did not wish to be quoted. What follows is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all the pros and cons of a GDL system, nor do we claim to have spoken — on or off the record — to everyone who has an interest in this subject, but we hope that this report will add to the debate on the important matter of young driver safety. The views that follow are broken down by various GDL topic areas. (Author/publisher)
