The AA is to offer free courses to drivers who have accidents or get points on their licence within 12 months of passing their test.
The announcement comes as figures show 20% of new drivers have a crash in their first year on the road.
The AA says unsafe driving kills more young people than drugs or knife crime.
Its president Edmund King said: “The statistics are staggering. There are problems after the test, some down to attitude and some down to experience.”
He added: “If we could do some of that in their test – and in their training before they have even passed their test – that would help.”
