Now they could be banned from picking up their mates and giving them a lift.

There will be a meeting on the new plans – attended by both Sharron and Roads Minister Richard Holden – on May 16, at which the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act will be considered.
Road safety charity Brake said new motorists carrying passengers of a similar age are four times more likely to get involved in a fatal car crash when compared with driving on their own.
Around 590 young drivers and 375 passengers under the age of 25 died in car crashes between 2014 and 2020.
The Department for Transport said: "Every death or serious injury on our roads is a tragedy and we continue to work tirelessly to improve road safety for all users.
"Our approach to improving safety for new and novice drivers is through new technology and improving education, while reinforcing vital road safety messages through our Think! campaign."
