\u201cOur plan for drivers will support thousands of skilled jobs and help grow the economy, sitting alongside our continued record investment in public transport and active travel \u2013 ensuring people have the freedom to travel how they want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Older drivers would likely benefit from the Government’s pledge to make journeys \u201csmoother and quicker\u201d under the proposals.<\/p>\n
Among the plans outlined by the Government is the new 20mph guidance in England to prevent \u201dinappropriate blanket use\u201d. A consultation will also begin on removing local authorities’ access to DVLA data to enforce schemes by camera.<\/p>\n
