Just passed my test. Not allowed to driver anyone - until i've clocked up 6000 miles. Is this fair ?
I'm 20.
Passed test on Saturday.
Mum won't let my carry passengers - excluding family, until i've clocked up 6000 miles.

It doesn't matter if you are 20yrs old or 30 years old - your driving experience is very short and limited. Often you here of people cramming their cars full of people, the car behaving differently due to the weight (and also the driver showing off) and terrible consequences. It seems like a very good idea, very cautious - but I don't think we can be too cautious when you consider a car as a killing machine.
If he/she goes out and buys a car and insurers it and taxes it etc, then obviously he/she can do what they want as his/her mother cannot stop them.

If it is your car and you have a legal licence you can do what you want.
However, your Mum is right to be worried as it is well documented that young drivers can be at a greater risk of accidents when they have passengers. There is always a peer pressure to demonstrate your skills and drive just that little bit too fast. Your Mum has good advice.
If your mum is financing your car then you are very lucky, just do what she says!

Sign up to a scheme like well-driven.net and display a sticker in your window for your first year or 2 - you should be able to ask you insurers for a discount (it shows that you are serious about safety and risk management!) and it will prove to your mum that you are serious about driving safely.
