West Midlands Motorists Face Possible Driving Licence Restrictions in 2026

Motorists in the West Midlands may soon face significant driving licence restrictions in 2026 if proposals supported by local leaders and road safety advocates are adopted by the UK Government. New measures are being pushed to improve safety on roads and reduce the number of collisions involving young and newly qualified drivers. The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner has been at the centre of this campaign, urging ministers to include stricter rules in the forthcoming national Road Safety Strategy.
