So privileged to support this incredible lady. Thank you @GMB for covering this important story and taking such care of us.
A huge thank you for all the support today. @1687lucy and I were terrified before going live on @GMB but we found our courage — for Lily-May, Lucy’s brother Peter, and all families bereaved by road crime. Our laws are outdated. Change is coming. Let’s keep pushing. @RoadPeace

Visited Parliament today to support #ForgetMeNotFamiliesUniting and lobby MPs in pushing for more safety measures to support new drivers and passengers and to reduce their insurance premiums. Will save lives. @SharronHuddles2 @owe65332 @ian_m_greenwood @Brakecharity

“This is an important public health concern, not a problem with young drivers. Where this has been implemented in other countries, there have been significant reductions in death” We were delighted to be featured in @Telegraph piece about @owe65332 and GDL https://t.co/LwsJ5JEe5D

Road accidents are the top killer of under-29s. Harvey was one of them – now his mother is pushing for change to Britain’s driving laws

@AAPresident @BBCBreakfast @owe65332 What’s your view @AAPresident on underage /unlicensed / disqualified drivers still been able to buy cars without any ID checks what so ever at the point of sale on private vehicle sales @SharronHuddles2 @ian_m_greenwood @DurhamPCC @PccJoyAllen

Make it a legal requirement at the point of sale of a secondhand vehicle to request proof of age and photo id, update the current V5C, and develop a seller portal via the DVLA vehicle check system....

Whilst @transportgovuk search for the “root causes” for the disproportionate number of people killed or seriously injured in young driver crashes, many of us wonder why they are still looking. Here’s a basic starter for 10: https://t.co/M1QZoQkgeo

@golate1 @transportgovuk Agreed! That is why the Gvt approach is not credible - research into #GDL is peer reviewed, stuffed full of data, international, over decades and from highly credible researchers. And generated from different disciplines: psychology, economics, public health, neuroscience;

Young driver debate in Parliament. It was great to be able to listen, whilst in the room, to the recent debate on young driver risk. It was also positive so many MPs were in attendance and spoke. I am told there were also MPs who wanted to speak but were unable to due to
