The scheme also focuses on providing younger drivers with experience on rural roads, at nighttime, and in various weather conditions before taking their driving test.

The AA's graduated driving licence scheme would give younger drivers the chance to build up experience on rural roads , at nighttime, and in all weather conditions , before they take their test.
