Moray MP Douglas Ross is to host a live Facebook discussion next week with road safety experts on his proposal for a Scottish Graduated Driving licence.
Mr Ross believes piloting a scheme to impose restrictions on novice drivers in Scotland would reduce the number of young drivers involved in accidents in the north and north-east.
Motorists with reservations about the proposal will be able to raise them during the session which will be transmitted from Westminster.
Mr Ross has arranged for Dr Sarah Jones, formerly of Cardiff University and now with NHS Wales and Dr Shaun Helman, Chief Scientist at the Transport Research Laboratory, to take part.
The academics have agreed to respond to questions from the public who will be able to contact them online.
The UK Department of Transport is considering the introduction of a graduated driving licence in an attempt to cut collision rates.
Among the initiatives being explored is banning young drivers from the road at night and restrictions on the number of passengers they can carry.
Other possibilities include limits on car engine sizes and a minimum learning period before a young driver can take the test.
Mr Ross has suggested that a graduated licence could be piloted in Scotland and will hold the Facebook discussion at 6.30pm on Tuesday.
He said: “We have to work together to make our roads safer for all road users. Statistics tell us that the highest number of fatalities and serious injury collisions are caused by predominately young male drivers.
“In Scotland, 12.5% of all road collisions involve a driver aged between 17 and 19 years. If a Graduated Driving Licence was to be introduced in Scotland alone, up to 299 casualties could be prevented and there would be 45 fewer killed or seriously injured.
“In the Highlands and Grampian areas, 15.7 % of all collisions involve a driver aged between 17 and 19 years. In these areas, we could reduce the casualties by 64 and prevent those killed or seriously injured by 13 if a graduated licence was introduced.”
A Scottish Government spokesman said ministers backed Graduated Driver Licensing.
The spokesman said: “As this is a reserved matter, they have made numerous representations over a number of years to the UK Government to take action or consider devolving power to Holyrood to enable measures to be taken forward north of the border.
“So far, these requests have been rejected, but we will continue to push for action”.
