GB News: Motorists could face new supercar driving licences that would turn the UK into a 'nanny state'

UK road safety experts suggest that while a supercar licence could be beneficial, it should include comprehensive driver training. The current motorcycle licensing model in the UK may serve as a framework for such regulations, which have successfully reduced motorcycle casualties over the years.
