Crystal Owen calls for tighter rules for young drivers after her son drowned following a crash in Wales.
The mother of one of four teenagers who drowned after a crash is calling for tighter rules for new drivers.Her son, Shrewsbury College student Harvey Owen, 17, was found in an overturned, partially submerged car in Gwynedd on 21 November.The teenagers, all from the Shrewsbury area, had failed to return home from a camping trip in North Wales.
Ms Owen said living without Harvey was "unbearable" and she had hardly left the house since his death. If introduced, the changes would include safety measures such as a minimum number of driving lessons covering 40 hours and all road conditions, not carrying passengers up to the age of 25 and restrictions on night driving."You only need to look at some basic statistics around graduated licences and how they are proven for decades to work to realise that a huge percentage of young people's lives could be saved if it was put into place.
