    “b. Currently, there are no legal restrictions upon the licences of young and/or newly qualified drivers and the current vehicle licensing regime permits the carrying of young persons as passengers in circumstances such as these. c. It is noted that young drivers are exponentially more likely to be involved in a collision with each similar aged passengers in the car. d. I am concerned that deaths will continue to occur or will occur into the future where younger persons are carried in motor vehicles being driven by newly qualified and/or young drivers. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of roadside barrier or fence preventing vehicles entering the ditch

    Wider context from the report

    “b. A stock fence had been erected (likely by the private landowner) concerning the lane of the road in question. It is understood that Cyngor Gwynedd had no responsibility for this given that it was on private land. The stock fence had been damaged and had not been replaced prior to the collision on 19 November 2023. c. Whilst the evidence could not determine whether or not the fence, had it been repaired and in situ at the time of the collision, would have altered the outcome the risk to road users who leave the road accidentally is that they may land in the ditch below the road level. d. Cyngor Gwynedd has installed a chevron board at the bend but there is no barrier or fence otherwise to prevent motor vehicles leaving the road into the ditch at this bend in the event of leaving the carriageway accidentally. ”
