Former Stig: 'Teach driving safety earlier'

A former Top Gear driver has called for the fundamentals of driving to be taught earlier in life.

Stunt driver Ben Collins, who used to play 'The Stig,' claims that pupils should be taught about safe driving at school so that they are more prepared for the early stages of real world driving.

Collins told BBC Radio 5 live's Breakfast: "In those first two years of we have to fend for ourselves. We kind of learn in a haphazard way as we have those near misses."
