Savings could be made by motorists in the UK thanks to new plans drawn up by government officials, it has been reported.
According to the Times, transport secretary Ruth Kelly this week met with officials from across the insurance sector to assess the requirements which need to be met before drivers can pick up a full licence.
It added that plans to make post-licence courses available to motorists in which they can hone their driving skills have also been discussed.
Currently, some 10,000 of the 500,000 new motorists who take to the road each year decide to develop their highways strengths and weaknesses in such a manner.
It may that a course highlighting advanced motoring skills helps motorbike riders save on their motorbike insurance policies, as cover firms could view them as less of a risk.
"We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers. This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it," commented a Department for Transport source.
This comes as the Times this week commented that a BTEC in driving science will soon be made available to young people.
